Connemara Pony in Moonlight

Connemara pony in Camus by moonlight
Excuse the silence. I went off to Spain writing and photographing for a travel magazine. Back in Connemara since Wednesday. The weather has been pattern-like, cloudy during the day, clearing in the evening. Didn't think there was much opportunity but clouds cleared this Friday evening with strong sun. I explored around the neighbourhood in Carraroe as it would be too late to get to any of the mountain ranges. I checked out local inlets and was about to set up when I noticed Connemara ponies grazing in moonlight behind me. I aimed with a 70-200 Sigma ranging between 800 and 1600 ASA at f3.5. This was the best out of the darkness!
