Photographing Rodeos | Karen Marie Images

A rodeo is the only sport I like to watch in live. The whole western, cowboy / cowgirl atmosphere is at it?s best at a rodeo. A challenging sport where sometimes the horse or bull actually wins an 8 second moment. But the athletic skills a cowboy has to ride a spinning mad bull or bucking wild horse is phenomenal. Their adrenalin must be pumping with the thrill of it all. Photographing rodeos gets my adrenalin a pumping as well! Need to capture an action that represents the ultimate effect, and do it within 8 seconds. When I photographed with my Pentax K1000, manual film camera, I had a system when capturing action photos. The camera would be all set with metering, focus, and stability. Then as soon as I would see the subject come into view, I would start taking multiple pictures while slowly following it with very little movement. At times a motion blur would occur but added to the overall image. The technique was estimating approximately where the cowboy would come across in location, snap that first view in camera lense at a still point, then follow his movements steadily with the multiple shootings. Years of rodeos, years of practice with the camera, and several different perspectives of action. Rodeo highlights my photography and my sporting interests!
