I love the colour you got here David
As to the action which you caught so well, you know my feeling, not
for any kingdom or republic, never! ;-)
Are these cropped BTW.
I mean the photos.
Good Mornin' Philippe!
I must agree, you couldn't get me on to one of those beasts for love
nor money. But, if you think some of these shots are scary... "just
you wait, Henry 'Iggins, just you wait."
And, yes, almost all are cropped. A bucking bronco can move up to 20
meters across the arena, while fully rotating twice and bucking 5 to
6 separate times in under 2 seconds. It is nearly, impossible to
frame tightly, and get any worthwhile shots at all.... just too
difficult to keep the action in the frame, though sometimes you get lucky.
Because of the speed, even auto-focus fails fairly often, resulting
in shots with the plane of focus in unexpected places or even
completely out of focus. Still, the success rate is far higher than
with manual focus. With MF, I got good success with things like
Chariot races, because they take a known track, and you can
pre-focus on a spot and fire when they come through it. But with
these beasts, no one knows where they'll be... not even the horses and bulls!
Thanks for taking the time to look. :-)
Cheers!
