The Snake River Stampede

Last night, July 20th, we had a chance to attend the Snake River Stampede. This is a rodeo that is in it's 90th year, if I remember right. It was a lot of fun and I got some decent photos that I wanted to share. Enjoy!!



This photo is of many horses and riders all lit up riding around the arena in the dark. It was pretty cool to see.






This Father and Son team were great!


I think this looks like it might hurt a little...




I've been waiting for an opportunity to try this effect. I'm not sure it turned out that well but it doesn't look too bad. Basically you pan the camera with a fast moving object and you get a nicely blurred background. The subject is supposed to be in focus so I'm not sure I have this mastered yet but the effect looked decent.


Another try with the blurred background.






This is how most of the bull riders ended up. I think the bulls won last night.






I think this guy was having too much fun...
