Photographer’s Note

LOL...

Variance of "How close can you get."

Focal length: 14mm eq. 28mm.

Horse: Norwegian Fjording:
According to the conference of Rio and the EU regulations for animal breeding, Norway is the Mother country of the Fjord Horse.
Archaeological excavations reveal that the horse was domesticated in the Bronze Age, circa 1200 BC. Viking burial grounds show that man had bred the horse for about 2000 years and it appears that the Fjord Horse is a descendant of the earliest horses in Norway.

Hei Jack,
LOL and ROTFL !!! Although it would be better framed a bit more to the right, the closeness is great and above all the expression is priceless !
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Exellent control of exposure in your very funny capture! You've done well to capture so much detail without burning out the sky in this high contrast image.
Love the whiskers!

Hi Jack
I think this chap needs a new toothbrush ;-) What a fantastic expression you've captured, it has certainly brightened up my morning! Great that you moved in so close.

a great close up, "inside" his mouth!
thanks, ciao

cbrman (18985) 2007-07-23 2:03

Hello Jack,

La seule remarque à faire à ce cheval, c'est qu'il devrait aller d'urgence chez le dentiste !!! Sinon, le gros plan est effectivement très drôle !
Bien vu !

Gran nitidez y buen color.
Un saludo.

Hi Jack, Brilliant capture & with your POV being so close, you can see all the ugly detail in his/her teeth, however I love it, razor sharp & crystal clear, TFS,kind regards Wilson.A new forest house.

Is there a way to type this expression on keyboard?
It would then become a phenomenon in cyberworld.
It is real LOL, even megaLOL :DD

ps1: Someone go tell him to brush his teeth btw.

ps2: Variance of "How Close Can You Get"??? This is the absolute source of my real gigaLOL. I hope Dear Isabela does not hate you. But hehehhe, it is really funny :...DDD

guillaumejm (30) 2007-07-23 12:42

Hello jack
So close, looking to tong and teeth colour, better not to breath local air ...... anyway, funny picture. is there a heavy pp here because there 2 small violet parts on left of the head?.
Best regards

Emile (20047) 2007-07-23 13:33

Hola Jack.
Funny but it's an excellent shot. We say that you can know the age of a horse looking at his teeth, well if this is true it should be very old. Great expression, amazing details. Very well framed.
Well done. TFS.
Best regards.

bwiti (402) 2007-07-23 18:26

Amazing horse portrait ! The sharpness is excellent end the colors too... So congratulations and sorry for my poor english...

kittyhawk (1687) 2007-07-23 23:23

Hei Jack,

Nice portrait. A fitting title. I just wanted to add that Hafling and Dølahest are allso Norwegian breeds. Ofcourse Fjordingen is the most known Norwegian horse bread, and has been a good help to us for all these years. (Good to see some one showing the animals humorous side.)

Friendly,

Que foto fantastica gostei muito das cores , parabens!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

jmcl (14051) 2007-07-24 16:36

Jack,

Did he need a breath mint? Certainly the most striking image I have seen today .. right from the the thumbnail this one grabs you .. I love all the fine detail .. I think I see some strange green turning to magenta tone in the shadows on the side of his face?? Wonderful wonderful image.

by the way how are you finding the 410? Have you had any issues with the noise reduction stuff they talked about in the reviews at
http://www.dcresource.com/
&
http://www.dpreview.com/
??

take care,

John

dilane (10289) 2007-07-25 1:57

This is an amazing capture, Jack, with excellent clarity.
The colours and 'textures' are both wonderful.
I like how you have filled the frame with the horse.

Hi Jack. I think this guy needs to brush his teeth, don’t know what his breath must be like ;-). Nice work, is your camera still in one piece. Thanks for the smiles.
Cheers, Paul.

Hi, Jack

It's nice to see your progress - new camera and new themes of photos :)

This one is real success. No jokes. Perfect.
And makes me laugh out loud just like the horse :)

By the way, the horse seems to be a big lover of coffee and cigarettes, just like me :)

Thanks for sharing... and bravo!

danyy (69247) 2007-07-31 14:50

jafadabret (40095) 2007-08-01 2:27

Jack, il est bon de rire parfois et même le plus souvent possible puisque le rire guérit. J'aime cette photo pour sa bonne humeur communicative. La netteté et les couleurs sont excellentes.
Jacques

balatrek (7419) 2007-08-01 13:13

Hi Jack,

It is really a different image and amused, you have caught this horse of a spectacular form, the perspective from a point of view under creates a great result to us, good light and perfect colours, I like since you have shown this animal of a so creative form.

Regards
José

mumek (17470) 2007-08-09 4:27

Excellent work!!.

baba_flies (8037) 2007-08-09 6:25

This is too much, Jack! This fellow should get some baking soda toothpaste for brighter teeth:) Did you make him angry with your camera or was this pure pleasure and he let it all out? Excellent catch of the moment, making me smile as many before me. Have a great evening, Barbara.

tehanu_f (6874) 2007-08-15 6:04

Given the horrible condition of his teeth, this one must be a much heavier smoker than I am! This photo is hilarious, but what actually amazed me is the fact that you really got very very close to him. Braveheart! )))
Congrats.

pablominto (41104) 2007-08-17 3:24

Indeed back home, more time for screening, no way to skip this in your featured ones, strong theets, no colegate, trying to bite your camera, terrifying close, well focussed with a good backdrop to stand out, I enjoy this one a lot Jack for the dary impresive close-up.

Good one, indeed!
This could be a commercial to a tooth past. Something like "See how your teeth can become if you don't use it?"
Anyway...funny shot!

migelo (2) 2008-12-08 17:10

This is pretty hilarious. Very sharp photo and the teeth are quite dirty. What exactly is this horse doing? Braying? Yawning? Laughing? Whatever it is, I like this photo and your close up is great.
