Barrel Racing

Went out and took some shots at a local Barrel Racing Competition, Used my 70-300 handheld for most of the shots, pretty fast action and focus was a bear due to the fast distance changes, finally ran out of light.

Nice, Bill! I did that once (barrel racing) . . . my horse ran the pattern backwards . . . it was great entertainment for the cowboys. I decided riding in rodeos was not my thing.

Cowgirls...yum... :)

That horse looks like my horse on a diet! That cowgirl looks like my wife on a diet and about 15 years younger... LOL

Nice shots, Bill. There's going to be lots of that happening up here in Calgary starting July 7th......the 100th Anniversary of the Calgary Stampede! Even our cops wear Stetsons (black ones) during the 10 day festivities. :) I should be able to get SOME shots of the goings on around here.

"my horse ran the pattern backwards "

Too funny, that was one of my issues being set for one barrel and they would go to the other, just an old ED lens, no VR and I was moving it around a lot.
