nice shot, nice color.. a wee bit fast shutter to stop the motion in the hooves that are in the air. great shot

The event had official photographers, so to avoid being thrown out, I sat in the bleachers shooting a zoom from my lap. Lots of trial and error especially without some flash to counter harsh overhead lighting to assist the stop action.Fun shoot however

Gooood

great shot, good timing... flash does a wonderful job of stopping split second action... looks a bit painful on the cowboys part.

Taken from across a large arena, the main flash was set to 1/8th manual exposure and the camera was also set to manual mode...high-speed burst of 8 fps, 1/90th, f/5.6, ISO 600....using a 28-135mm f/3.5 lens

wow.. this looks horrible here...but in the Hi-res it looks much better... might be my eyes or puter screen, but seems like a lot of them look better on hi res compared to here lately.
