Barrel racing

I watched barrel racing for the first time....some of those horses really fly

Excellent set, especially the ghost rider chasing in the 3rd shot!

Very cool. I saw this once and it is impressive.

Barrel racing....BIG in these parts. And yeah, that hat that flew off! What great fortune!

Beautiful set. And to think that no photoshop was involved... except maybe for the third one. C'mon Chris - spill the beans on that one.

lol I
ll bet no PS was involved . Way over half the women lose their hats like that during a ride. I always wondered why they bothered to put it on in the first place...but not enough to ask some of my cousins why they did.

btw that 2d shot is a classic! one of the best angles for the barrels kudos

Wow. What a great set. Love that it shows the heavy action.

thank you all for the lovely comments...yes Paul...no photoshop trickery was used............I learnt that you need to get there early and not move .....I'll be at the next one as soon as the gates open next time...there was a little bull and bronco riding as well...though not many could stay on the bulls

Just a tip, or hint about shooting broncs...especially the larger saddle broncs. get as low as you can and shoot from a rear angle of about 45º and just as the horse is leaving the ground. You get the rider laying back, and beautiful muscle detail on the horse. A photographer who shot dressage and jumpers showed me that one....of course in those the rider is not leaning back, at least not on purpose, and if he does he doesn't remain on the horse long!

thank you....I must have been using the force because the majority of the time I shot kneeling .....
