Colorado County Fair Rodeo - 09-11-2010, 09:50 AM


I've got a ton more but no time to deal with them right now. The lighting was horrible. I made some lame attempts at correcting color cast but I didn't spend too much time processing these and it shows.

These are all shot at ISO 8000 with a 200mm f2L IS from the stands. I went to shoot my daughter running barrels (2 shots of her and one of her friend) and ended up filling up a card. Having to shoot at f2 limited DOF so in hindsight I wish I had pushed the ISO a little and stopped down some. Then again... the noise isn't too bad in these. Even in the ones that were underexposed.

This guy was apparently ok but he had a ride to remember. I could have cropped these but I liked the expression on the face of the cowboys behind the rider.

Great shots all around Michael, but the saddle bronc series is my favorite! Love catching action shots like that! I like seeing the expressions of the bystanders too. Glad the rider was alright.

Thanks Charles

Hey Debbie, thanks! and long time no talky. I don't think that I've ever shot a rodeo before. I usually just watch. I still need to go through and pick the shots from bareback and bull riding...

Bull riding action shots are up there with the saddle bronc and bareback shots! Well, as long as no one gets hurt! I like those "on the edge of disaster" rides!

Nice job on these Michael. Love the one of the little fellow. Looks like he is in deep concentration about the action around him!

Man, those were great! How did your daughter place? Running those barrels takes a lot of training and work. I know I've been there done that at my local rodeo. Kind of lost my interest and youth over the years but still fun to watch.
