Wildlife Photography: Capturing Wild Horses—Course Preview

You know, the wild horse of the outer banks dates back nearly 400 years ago, to when European explorers first came to these barrier islands. Now the wild horse is a beautiful animal and a joy to photograph, and this week we're gonna be meeting up with professional wildlife photographer, Jared Lloyd, and he's gonna share with us his techniques for photographing these amazing animals. Typically this time of the year, say, you know, mid- to late-spring, we expect to actually find the horses out on the beach. What's going on, you have multiple different species of biting flies that are hatching out here. And as you can see, and as you can see with the cameraman over there, you know, constantly batting these things away, it's the same thing for these horses. They're having to deal with this. And so with a strong southwest wind, typically that will push the horses right out onto the beach in order to escape those biting flies. So, you know, this morning we started off trying to cruise the beach and look for horses. Didn't really see anything. So, figured we try the next best option and just go ahead and cut across the Island and come back up here into the marsh, which, obviously, worked out for us- Yeah, it's beautiful. This is beautiful.
