With a 200/2!

Hey, Will

I'm glad you're postin' again. Great photos! Love the 'astronaut' effect!

Help me with a dumb question? What is the 'trigger' to make the critters buck so much? The band around their tummy? Weight on their back? Their nature? Seeing te gleam in the photographer's eye? All of the above? I know they do -- but why?

George

Howdy, George...thanks a lot! Notice the rope around their rear quarters, they cinch it up tight on the sack

Yeah...we'd be hoppin' around and pissed off too, no?!

Thanks

Outside arena with 3 mixed types of old lights.

By 8:00 I'm usually down
to about ~1/100th and ready to call it a night. (It often ends by then so it could be worse)
Team roping on the far end the lights are more concentrated and I can shoot longer into
the competition BUT then the dust after 50 teams is brutal on the AF. Gets real ugly fast.

Thank you kindly, Bill. I've managed to tweak it to do my bidding SOOC, very pleased.

Great action captured and I like that they are a bit wider and capture the reactions of the people involved as well.

I do agree with your comment about much preferring them on a plate!
