Thanks so much Nancy. Took this at a rodeo in Kernville, Ca. Was trying out my new camera. Made lots of mistakes but am starting to get the hang of it. #9996914

Dale, this is a great action shot of this horse and rider. Beautiful capture and excellent focus. I like it a lot, Bill #9999272

Dale Hardin February 24, 2012

that's so kind of you Bill. This is a new camera and lens and I'm trying hard to figure out how to use it. Would love to be at your shoulder as you take shots. Your gallery is a great indication of your skill with this type subject. Something for me to aim for.

By the way, must admit I cheated a bit and moved the barrel closer for maximum effect. #9999699

Great rodeo action capture Dale and I love shooting rodeos and bull rides as well. Congrats on wonderful finalist. #10058512

Dale Hardin March 26, 2012

Thanks Emile. This was my first and I was trying out a new camera. Could not have taken the shot with my old one. Hope to go to more rodeos in the future. Some with more action as this one did not have top level animals and riders. #10059312
