Went to the Cloverdale Rodeo yesterday. My first time at one with a camera. C&C appreciated.

Nice work capturing the action!

I'd have to say you did a great job, lots of variety and got all the action! Very nice!

I like what I see. #4 Your timeing is just right for that event. Very Good work.

Bravo! They're all good, I don't know where to start... #1 looks like the ground was doing a decent job of providing fill light to see under the cowboy's hat. #5 is funny and painful; the horse's face is priceless. #6 is a great ending to the story. Well done.

Great job... and great quallity for me keep going

Thanks everyone. Anybody that thinks rodeo is cruel to the animals obviously has not seen still images of the athletes on them! I managed to get a few more processed, here's a couple more.

#2 is funny because the spit flying from the bulls mouth looks like a lasso.

Great action and expressions! .. I enjoy looking at the crowd almost as much as the riders/bronks. LOL

Is the Cloverdale Rodeo here in the Northwest US or in SW BC? Guess I could google it.

EDIT: Ahh, it's about a 3 hour to 4 hour drive for me (with customs). I'll keep it in mind for next year. There's still plenty of rodeos goin on in Western WA. I'm planning to come up for the Abbotsford Airshow this year though.

Maybe we should have a POTN meet up at next year's rodeo.

I was contemplating the air show as well. Only problem is the 3 hour freeway lineup each way....

Agree,
Wow that guy looks like Ledoux! Breezed by fast and took a double take.
