Hi David,

An excellent action picture including the dust.

The rider has her tongue between her teeth in concentration,  The depth of
field covers the sharpness of both the horse's head/face and the rider.
usually one or the other can be soft in this on coming type action.

 

You must be amassing a fine collection of rodeo pictures. I'd hope you are
also watching for the sponsor logos behind and around the actions purely as
"FOR SALE" images to said sponsors. Or media requests as well as stock
images. And every week when you have your usual smashing photos you contact
every sponsor with photos you have with their name clearly visible in the
frame.

 

This is no different than skating championships where we always tried for
best action with a name sponsor logo behind the skaters. It can make extra
dollar return from every event. Not to forget contacting the sponsor shown,
as well as finding out who their primary advertising agency is beyond this
local rodeo. .. In particular "who has their main National or international
adverting account?" 

 

Once again another fine action photograph! Actually it must look great as a
13X19 size print!

As you go from one rodeo to the next, do you take an 8.5X11 print in
envelope ready for immediate sale to the riders, families and friends? Many
of them must do the circuits every weekend so have a print along can
automatically put dollars in your pocket. Besides, by now you must becoming
"THE RODEO SHOOTER OF THE DAY!" to competitors and crowds so they' almot
automatically expect you to come along with a photo of thm in action. Trust
me they don't always have to be the "million dollar shot"! :-)

 

I did this in the good old days of stock car racing and quite often came
home with an $100 bucks just from selling 8X10's to the drivers and pit
crews. And from orders for prints I'd deliver the next week race.

Cheers,

Dr. ted :-)
