Album Description:

This was my first rodeo. Although I definitely enjoyed it, I found it real tough to photo. I'd like to try it again hoping that I can use what I learned and get better shots.

  • Wouldn't believe this was your 1st rodeo shoot. Usually takes people a while to adjust to the speed. Your album was great.

  • Thanks for the kind words on my Mesquite rodeo album. It's not very good technically BUT so many people comment on it and get pleasure out of it that it still gives me pleasure. I just heard from the dad of one of the bull riders. He stumbled across my album and recognized his son!!! I am furiously looking for the original pix so that I can send them to him for his boy's website. You ever rodeo in and around Austin, TX (where I live) drop me a line so I can come out and photo the event! Wanda

  • Wanda, I know it was a while ago that you posted these pictures. But my family and I just came across them. We rodeo constantly. At least 4 times a month. These pictures are awsome. We loved every single one. I have a rough stock rider, 3 ropers, a pole bender and a barrel racer. We LOVE rodeo. And we loved your pics.

  • Hi, Congratulations on your beautiful featured album! These are great images under extremely adverse conditions. I know that arenas may appear bright to the naked eye, but they are really dimly lit and you're trying to shoot fast moving action shots with a fairly long telephoto lens. All of these combine to be a nightmare on proper exposures and framing. Great Job! Greetings from Florida, Paul.

  • This is an incredible awesome album and it certainly deserves the feature today: congratulations! I know how hard it is to take photos of such fast moving action - and you did it brilliantly. Your shots are full of excitment and thrill. I had the luck to see part of a rodeo myself -that was back in 2002 in Bluff, Utah, and I hope to be able to see a big one like this here one day. Best regards from Zurich (Switzerland). Mike

  • Hi Wanda, there's not a shot in this album of which you cannot be proud. Viewing it was a sheer delight, and I went around a second time because it was so much fun. Your cover shot is brilliant, but there are many more on a par with it. It can't be easy taking shots in such fast moving action; these photos are a credit to you and your photographic skills, I'm adding you to my favorites, I don't want to miss an album. Best wishes from Keith in Sydney.

  • Outstanding photo storytelling of the action, animals and people at a rodeo. Really looking forward to the photo results of your next rodeo visit. What you've done already will be hard to top. What I'd really like to see is your photo version of a day on a working ranch. [Send you photo link to some ranchers with working cattle ranches near you and ask if they'd be interested in you doing a photo journal of a day on the ranch -- and see what kind of response you get.]

  • Hi Wanda, Thanks for the invitation into the life of the rodeo crowd. Actually, have only been to one myself when I was six or seven, so this is a treat. Lots of action shots, a good photographer and a trusted camera equals a nice job. What are you doing in Texas? Take care. Ron/Southern Oregon Coast
