Pepe

Finally, a clear night in December! And high 30s F! Couldn't stay inside. On this shot, I got my brother-in-law's buckskin quarter horse. I figured he would appear well in a low light shot with his light coat. I had to feed him in front of our barn to get him to stand still for the photo. I whirled a flashlight around on the ground next to my tripod: perfect light and no harsh shadows behind Pepe. The stars behind the barn did not show as well in the shot, but I love the little cluster of stars that can be seen in the top right. Any astronomy buffs know the name of that star system?

Looking forward to tomorrow night and praying for clear skies. The Geminids Meteor showers. Wish me luck.
