Rodeo Day 2

One of my clients got the day off work for Rodeo Day which we celebrate down in Tucson. I took him to the rodeo grounds and we were able to catch the end of the parade as well as the Junior Rodeo. Sadly my shift ended before I got to watch the adult rodeo, but we had a lot of fun.

I think this is the only decent picture I got of the barrel racing. I had a tendency to cut off peoples heads, or the camera focused on the bars instead of the riders.

Once again the top picture the cowboy just fell off and the bull is making his escape. I think the bottom picture is my favorite. I got the animal in motion and the rider all in the same shot.

The 4, 5, and 6 year olds got to try riding the sheep. The top picture is the sheep being herded to one end of the area, the bottom the little boy just fell off. It was difficult to time the pictures.

Rodeo Day

My Client and the dog. A man named Jeff showed Greg and I around his camp. He let us bet his horse and dog as well as showed us his trailer and how they hooked the horses up and everything. He was really nice and Greg and I hung out with him and his family for 30 to 45 min while we were waiting for the junior rodeo to start.

The picture took a while to take. The horse was far more interested in eating its breakfast then in posing for the picture. I had to keep on poking him in the chest so he would back away from the food and hold still long enough for me to snap the picture.

I thought the money cow was funny.

We were walking around before the rodeo and looking at all the animals.

This picture made me smile. The cow is "mooing" I tried to get him on film, but by the time I adjusted the setting on my camera, he walked away.
