Nice shots.. Gotta love the small daytime rodeos. Takes us back to our Roots!
Yes it does!
Great video. My first rodeo didn’t go too well as far as photography, but it was such a fun experience!
My first was the same.!!! LoL
Keep going and it’ll slide into place for ya!🤘🏻❤️
I’m going to give it a try myself soon. Next weekend there is an all day and maybe all night roping event
I will go between using a d700 with a Tokina 28-80 f2.8 and a d500 with a Nikon 70-200 f2.8
It’s an indoor area so lighting will be consistent
Fantastic!!!
Thank boss, Cheers!
Great job, good voice for this
Thanks boss and thanks for watching!
Awesome video! Phenomenal shots! Are these photos you posted cropped or are they the actual size?
Good video, yes light is often a problem with rodeo.... sometimes ya gotsss to work with what ya got.
I was surprised at your F stop though, and I'm curious what lens you were using?
Hey Momma June! Unfortunately I threw my old 70-200 into my bag and not the 2.8!! Not enough coffee in the morning. So I was stuck with my old 70-200. F4 was as low as I could go. I wanted to get some background separation but.... I'm such an idiot!!! LOL
I've been taking some photos this afternoon and a bit of them are really good and the arena was covered so I was constantly swapping side tryna get the sun's light
Awesome! It can be tricky fighting the sun some times but a day shooting beats sitting on the couch!
If you're shooting barrels stay in one spot, don't move around. You'll find yourself with some pissed off racers. It's the angle part. One angle will always be better than the other. Find the angle you need during Time Onlies or Slack.. That way when the main show starts you are ready to rock!
hey I know its been 4 years.. but WHat lens did you use? I use 70-200 but with distance for you didnt know?
Hey Ron, I was using my 70-200. If I remember correctly, I did have to do a little cropping in Lightroom, on a few images , but for other shots that day I didn't have to crop at all. (I'm not a photographer who is against cropping when needed.) I don't have a 400 mm lens so I do what I can with the equipment I have. I wish I did have a 400mm lens though!! LOL
Thanks for watching!
Huch
PS- Feel free to ask my anything.
I got hooked 10 years back, and go all I can. even to the point when I ask the wife to go, she gives me a evil look. I have been using my 70-200 or 24-70 24-105 for smaller arena's I am here in North Carolina. Ron..@@photohuch
What kind of camera do you use??
Hey buddy, for that day was using a canon 70d. Thanks for watching 🤘🏻❤️
What focus point did you use?
Hey buddy,
I single point focus on the cowboy / cowgirls face.
Cheers 🤘🏻
What camera land lens are you u SC ing?
Thanks for watching! This day I was shooting a Canon 70d
Oops and I use a sigma 17-70mm
How do you shoot it for indoor arena or fir night rodeo ?
First off , thanks for watching!!
That's an awesome question.
I'd say, rely on a "fast" lens, like a 2.8 if you can. You'll have to bump your ISO up do to the lack of light. It's similar to shooting hockey, ( I'm Canadian! )
You think there's a ton of light but for the high shutter speeds needed you' find out pretty quickly you'll need to bump your ISO.
How much ISO and shutter speed depends on the Rodeo arena's abeyant light. Remember the faster the action the faster the shutter speed needed.
A little trick I've learned shooting hockey, in arenas, is deliberately
The balance of how much grain you have can get tricky. Hope that helps. Feel free to ask me more anytime .
Cheers!
Huch
I’ll be using a Nikon d500 with a Nikon 70-200 f2.8
I have a Nikon 200-500 f5.6 but for one thing it’s heavy and for another too much zoom I’m thinking
The other camera will be using a 28-80 f2.8 tokina on a Nikon d700
