Re: General photography related stuff thread
I finally got round to editing my photos from a trip to Golega in Portugal last year. Thought you might like to see them as I had some amazing opportunities to photograph beautiful Lusitanos from some of the oldest studs in Portugal :) Happy New Year! http://www.helenjgphotography.co.uk/photos/swfp...
