Its dudes riding bulls or people riding horses. You shoot rodeo, I shoot equestrian every weekend. There's no difference in size of the subject. Apples to apples. no gear List

Even at f2.8 most of the time you will need a high iso as rodeo arenas rareley have great light. Check out prorodeo.com and see what the Pro Rodeo Sports News uses as popular shots. Rodeo, like many other sports has its prefered shots its not just as simple as takeing pictures ( if you are wanting to sell them) Canon markIIn - Nikon D3 and a bunch of other crap I probably dont need but think I do.

As a fan I like to position myself directly across from the chutes, in the middle and choose the very first row. I squat down and shoot through the fence. Although once the rider is off and I am done getting my shots, I make sure to watch the bronc/bull to see where it's going. Often you'll have to move away from the fence or you'll get covered in flying dirt (and your camera, too) from the animal running by.  It's funny but you see all the photographer's behind the chutes in the photo above? I don't know how they get any good shots that way. The last rodeo I went to there were photographers behind the chutes and yet the ones they hired to professionally shoot the rodeo were right next to me across the arena from the chutes. with this, the colors aren't that great but it's still a fun shot:  Heather

Aug 23, 2007 13:16 | #23 I am the only photographer at these rodeo's not really hired but they announce for me. they are very small town rodeo's nothing big as of yet. I do get in the arena for muttin Bustin and sometimes for the goat tying. If they would let me I would get in the arena with the bulls.....get me a vest and I'm good to go....lol
