Shot these over the weekend at a local youth rodeo. This girl was on fire!

C&C welcomed.

BTW, anyone know what causes my camera exif to show up as 7P and 2P?

#4 is the distinct winner for me. I'm of the belief it takes only one shot to tell this story and that's the shot. I also think the vertical fence posts should be truly vertical rather than the 'barrel.' To my eyes, that would be about as close to perfect as you could get. Great image.

Thanks for the input Russ and everyone else.

Your right with the fence post and barrel. I got focused on straightening the barrel, but didn't realize I should have paid attention to the horizon and railing instead.

I actually preferred #5 the most before I read your reply, but now looking, I think #4 gives a better representation with her arm outstretched steering the horse.

Thanks again.

I have photographed barrel racing. Terrific shots! I hope you showed them to her parents. I would be shocked if they did not buy them.

Thanks everyone.

I still have yet to sell any of my photos. I find so many people are satisfied with having their photos live on social media these days. I'll be printing off a few to show off so people can really see what a good print looks like framed up. I'm thinking most would buy on the spot if they saw the prints in person.

If you plan on selling pics I think you should consider speaking with the people at the show and getting their contact info .That way you can show them later for a sale. There is a market for the social media people. FYI I sell four "facebook" quality downloads for $75. Whatever the plan you need a portfolio.

Thanks for the info. What size do you post your facebook photos at?

About 400 X 600 pixels. It can vary. ( low resolution ) As long as it looks good online.
I also offer six downloads for $99.00. You have to play to your market. People under 30 do not have the same interest in prints. But they will buy if you offer what they want
But you have to make it worth your while. People love a "deal/package".

Nice work, I love the facial expressions you caught. I shoot the Helldorado PRCA Rodeo for my Elks Lodge here in Las Vegas every year but it's a night time rodeo so the lighting is never ideal. Usually end up at 3200 ISO, not 100.

Thanks for the advice. I definitely need to come up with a plan.

Yeah, I've seen quite a few rodeo photogs using 200/2 just for that reason. I've been lucky so far in that most of the events I've shot at have had good lighting.

Love the photos, especially #4. Much like a motorcyclist still mid-corner but having eyes up looking to the next apex.
