Rodeo Action

[Hillbillygirl]

Thank you all very much for the kind compliments. It was def a lot of fun shooting this.

As for the PP, I don't really know what to say. No real recipe per se', as I usually just wing it in LR is all, until I see what I like. I will jump back and forth on adjustments until I see the balance I like is all. I do like to keep the sharpening tight and the contrast and clarity high to make the subject pop. On this particular shot the clarity is only at +18, sharpening +48, and contrast +40, along with a lightening of the shadows.
There was no flash used in any shots as I would not dare try that with these performance animals, which could endanger someones life.

What an awesome set of pictures. Like the others my favourite is the second one.

All awesome, but no 1 has got to be one of the best rodeo/cowboy shots I've ever seen
