Rodeo and Chuckwagon Races

Here are a few from the High River Rodeo Saturday night. The weather was great and there was a pretty good crowd. I'm still processing them, but there's lots more on my website if you're a rodeo fan.

All very nice. I can't wait for winter here when the events are held during the day. I'm going to post some bull riding from last night in a minute but they aren't this good.

Those are great KitKat! What a capture of that palomino slipping! .. Not what she wanted to happen, but maybe she'll buy it because it's a great shot! Looks like you had a really good day for shooting!! Thanks for sharing those!

These are excellent ! Especially #3.....

AWESOME shots.
May I ask what lens you were using? (I'm kicking around the idea of another purchase)(so I'm looking for examples).

Thanks everyone!

I was shooting with my 70-200 2.8 IS. It worked fairly well for the rodeo although at times a longer lens would have been nice. C'est la vie Most were shot through chain link as well.

Nice shots. The chuckwagons got me thinking, about 12 more days and I'll be up for the Stampede!

Are you competing in anything or just coming for a holiday? Stampede in Calgary, all the pancakes and booze you can handle for 10 straight days

I am affiliated with Browarny Photographics in Calgary. We are the official photographers of all the agricultural events. I come in to do the horse and beef competitions.

Last year was my first Stampede. It's a crazy time!

I'm really liking #'s 4, 6 and 8. You should come down to visit Sheridan

i enjoy #5 and #7 good shots.
