    A little rodeo

    Another busy day! It started off with the Indiana North vs South football game in 90 degree plus heat and ended up with the county fair rodeo and it was still 90 at at 10pm when the rodeo ended. Needless to say I am beat from both the heat and holding the camera for 7 hours today.

    These are a few of the rodeo shots the paper won't use.

    Hey JS,

    Whats up with the little square over the bulls eye in the last shot? Is that a new red eye tool?

    I like that saddle bronc photo. I love the way you got the sun coming trough the horses tail. My son use to ride bulls I'll have to see if I can find a few from his riding days and post them.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Thanks OT, I think I got lucky on that one, the other was blown out bigtime. Unfortunately, so I'm not blocking paying customers I have to shoot towards the sun as it sets ... oh well, this one worked out OK.
