Wild Hores of Wyoming. The Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range located in Wyoming is no secret to the world. You can google the range, buy books about the horses and you can even look up there names that people have given them. These horses are unique. Thier lineage links back to the Spanish Conquistadors and these horses ancestors have been wondering the mountains well before any of our time. The thing that I found to be so amazing, was that the horses are just up in the Pryor Mountains, existing all on their own in a serene oasis of an environment.

Wisdom Summer
I packed up my Pentax 645z and headed to Wisdom yesterday. The winds where blowing, but the light was pretty good for the most part. I unfortunately forgot my tripod at home and found myself attempting to slow down my shutter to try and capture the movement of the grass, clouds and water. I found out quickly however, that handholding a Medium Format camera at 1/6th of a second with the mirror locked up, proved to not be the best method.
Here are some images that I took yesterday evening. Its everything from Landscapes to horses to hiking in a burn area.
Equipment used:
-Pentax 645z
-Pentax 35mm f3.5
-Pentax 80-160mm f4
My attempt at a long exposure hand held. Not so easy with a Medium format camera!
And one more attempt at hand holding 1/6th of a sec!

Sagebrush
Under the wide open skies of Wisdom Montana are fields and fields full of Sagebrush. For the non-allergenic type, the smell is very pleasant and calming while driving through the fields. I snapped some shots on our last Sunday afternoon day trip up to the Big Hole. We got to explore the mountain side and have a picnic with friends. Here are some images from the day trek.
Images: Pentax 645z, 80-160mm f4.5 and 35mm f3.5

I through the Pentax 645 FA 80-160mm F4.5 on the Pentax 645z. The lens itself is rather sharp, but its HEAVY when attached to the Pentax 645z. I realized that even at 1/500 of a sec the images can have some camera shake to them as well. The lens has nice contrast and I really enjoyed shooting with it.
Here are some images from today with the lens!
