Thanks, Jim, for your kind words.
Henri Cartier-Bresson spoke of capturing the peak of any action - the "Decisive
Moment" he called it - as the key to making great photographs.
The nice thing about a country rodeo is that there are often several peaks in
the action, during any ride or contest, in each contestant's run. And there is
a new contestant every few minutes... for 4 hours ... all for the $12 price of
admission.
Not only a great place to hone one's skills, but great entertainment thrown
into the bargain.
BTW: If you have the chance to go, the smaller rodeos, with less skilled
cowboys & cowgirls, often provide the better photo opportunities - though this
is not an absolute. I try to take in as many as I can... usually 3 or 4 per
season.
David.
