8 seconds "Ride Done" 91points

Uploaded: February 05, 2012 12:26:13

Description

This is the very next capture I took of J. W. Harris as he completed his 8 second ride on "Little Eagle" for an outstanding 91 points. Trying to get all rides on every rider is a necessity as I do not know who will be the winner and trying to get the right POV captures in this fast paced event requires moving from one end to the other to get the right vantage point. Most are take from ground (Knee) at mid arena level. Comment welcome.

Exif: F Number: 4.5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/400 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 640, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 70.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV

Emile, you definitely nailed this one too, my friend! Again, the clarity, lighting, detail, & stop action are superb! Sounds like a challenging assignment but I know it will be a success! #9967203

You are one brave man, my friend! I can't imagine being in the middle of all the fast paced action - bulls and riders flying every which way and having the wherewithal to concentrate on the photo capture rather than my own hide!! :) :) Another amazing capture - excellent work (in all regards!:) #9968348

Your "rodeo" images are the best. They are all so sharp with vivid colors. Amazing Emile. #10145092
