Bonnie Springs Rodeo #2

This months installment in the continuing saga "Eric's Struggle For Shutter Speed".

Only two more events this year at this arena. The October event will be during the day and I can't wait. I think the pic's are better this month but still need improvement.

They did not allow anyone in the arena or on the platform this month.

What where your settings for these and what lens where you useing. Looks like Tall Paul Sanders is back to fighting bull. (bullfighter in brown)

I have to figure out why my exif is not showing up. It's there when they come out of LR, it's there in smugmug but it doesn't show up when posted on here. Oh well.

The barrel racing is all 125mm to 200mm, ISO 1600, f/4 and the shutter speed starts out around 1/650 and gets down to about 1/125 as it gets darker. That's where I give up on the shots.

The bull riding is all at 28-70mm, ISO 1600, f2.8-f4.0 and SS of 1/250 at HSS.

If I'm going to be serious about shooting night rodeos I need some strobes and/or ISO3200/6400 and/or f/1.4. After all it's just money you know.

Shotting Rodeo at night under the lights is going to be hard I am useing a 300mm 2.8 and 135mm 2.0 and shooting at 3200 still can't stop the action, strobes might be the way to go I don't know if it would be allowed in all arena's though.
