Calf roping at the California Rodeo in Salinas. Comment/critique

welcome.

Been to the Rodeo several times, but this is my 1st time taking

pictures. Comments/critique welcome

Thank you, Mark. Coincidently, I was just looking at your "hang in" photo last night and it's a very nice shot! I rated anonymously so that it could apply toward the TRP :) I suppose we who like the water sports are always looking at other's shots for ideas or to admire. I do feel very lucky for the weather here and my proximity to the sea. Best wishes & I'll look to your portfolio for more surf shots - T

I'll try it at the rodeo & see what I get :)

OOooo....no I haven't, but it sounds interesting! This was my first horse event & 1st indoor also. Probably won't see anything like it again for a long time. I'll be going to a rodeo next Sunday though - plenty of light (outdoors) and hopefully many photo ops there, as it'll be my 1st rodeo :)

Thanks Ken. Ratings be damned - I really like this shot :) Panning at this slow shutter speed got me a lot of blur in the background and on the horses legs, which I like. Maybe my distance (3rd row seat) gave me more DOF on the other shots. (I'd hoped to blur out the crowd more than what I got on those) At any rate, my first indoor event and a great learning experience!

One of the stallions performs the Mezair for a delighted crowd

I had to look for the hat, lol. Great timing on this action photo!

Good timing & a great action shot!

It was a beautiful show watching the stallions. Indoor light was a

challenge, but I had fun shooting. Comments/critique welcome

Looks like a ballet :) Great timing!

I love the variety of colors jellyfish have. (taken at the

aquarium, Monterey)

They look fake, don't they? Each capsule contains 200-300 eggs, which hatch tiny squid in 30 - 90 days depending on the water temperature.

This photo can't do justice to these. The tiny jellys have rows of little combs that diffract light and give them shimmering, irridescent color running up and down the body - a bit of blue visible here

So funny and cute! This ostrich certainly has the Angelina Jolie lips of the bird world

I like the DOF and soft, colorful background; also the way the hat brim sweeps round her face

Thanks for your input, Neil - this one does seem a better crop!

Beautiful shot! I love the dreamy quality created by the dust, flowing robes and gorgeous horses.

I don't know how I missed this when it was posted, but it blew me away! I never would have thought to process this shot the way you did. It's very artistic & inspiring - Terri
