Sheep


My father-in-law raises sheep. That's his retirement hobby. Last time we visited there were a few youngsters playing around. How could I resist? Since we were in a very shadowy area, I set the ISO to 400 and the aperture to f/2. The results were nice, for the photos that were actually in focus... Manual focusing can definitely be a pain with young subjects.

The kids enjoy giving names to the baby sheep. About a year later, when some of them eventually get to the dinner table, we are always a bit nervous: one of the kids might realize that food was once a fluffy little friend.
