I have a question also about histogram so will hijack the post a little

Does any of the Nikon cameras give you a histogram before you click the shutter? Or is the only histogram for photos already taken?

If there is a before shutter click histogram I can't find it in menu on the D500.

The question would be at what point does a feral animal turn from being a domestic animal to being wild? In my mind feral is a domestic animal turn out to fend for its self. These horses were turned loose in the 30's and those horses have long died and are gone. What is the life of a horse living on its own? My guess 20 to 30 years at most. If they were turned loose in the 30's that's almost 90 years, these horses has to be 3rd generation away from domestic animal.

If a domestic animal can not become wild then I question 'IF' there are any wild horses in the United States. My understanding is that horses were bought here by the early settlers of New found lands. So all horses were domestic that are here at one time or another.

But yes the Missouri State Park Com when it bought the land for the State Park wanted to get rid of the horses. (They also were calling them feral animals). After a big rucks between them and the local area people the US Government (President Clinton) signed a bill giving the horse a right to be there with a limit of 50 horses.

Some shots of a small group of the wild horse in the Jacks Fork River/Current River area of south Missouri.

More snapshots than master pieces but hopefully you can and will enjoy them.

Late evening check-in guest at the lodge of Echo Buffs Missouri State Park. These is a few of the wild horses of the area. 3rd or 4th generation of wild horses turned out in the 1930's when farmers of the area could not afford to feed them during the

The best way to learn is by making mistakes and push success to the point of failure. Then you know what doesn't work and what did or if nothing worked then you can try something different next time. But you are learning by doing!

Think through what you are wanting in your photo...

You want great Depth of Field..So you need a smaller aperture to get that results...Check

Now you need to freeze the movement in the flowers. To get that you need a fast shutter speed...Check

Now you will have to set the ISO for the right exposure.

Depending on how high the ISO needs are will determine the amount of noise you have. But I see depth of field and shutter speed needing to be your set points.

Think about what you want in your photos then make your camera setting accordingly.

Hope this helps
