Just brilliant Malcolm! I have enjoyed looking at the faces at each person in the shot! It's certainly true in this case, the saying: a picture paints a thousand words!

I guess that wasn't HIS first riding lesson though. One of his earlier ones apparently convinced him to trade his hat for a helmet!

Amazing capture, the timing is perfect placing the second rider in the right position to make a great composition. The girls in the background really add to it aswell

Thank you very much Nathan. Things move so quickly at the rodeo so it is often a matter of continuous shooting and hoping for the best.

Your welcome, and I know what you mean I've been to a few out at Wingham.

It's hard getting into the right position too.

True, and there's all the fences as well. One time at Wingham I was in the judges box above where they came out for the whole night

That would have been pretty good!
For this shot I was laying on the grass near the fence. A couple of times I was showered with dirt when they came too close to me.
