Description I know, I've been teasing you with non-action shots. Here's one of the two barrel racing photos I'm going to be putting up. Taken at the Bits and Spurs Little Buckaroos Rodeo

Hi just wanted ask a question and tell you I used this picture as a ref. [link] This is the rough so far, I have a colored one coming up for a DA horse show. I wanted to ask if its okay to post the lines from this gorgeous pic as a free lineart to color? My rules for lines are if they're mine, credit me and link back. If they are reffed then credit both and link back. Either way, I thank you for letting me use this as reference material!

What lens were you using and what setting on your camera, I get way to much blur with my shots, I am at the NBHA Championship in Jackson Mississippi right now and was just wondering.

I used my 70-200 4.0L lens in AV mode. Sorry for the late reply; I don't check here too often.

what barrel was that on? i cant tell...it looks like the right one but that would be the wrong way, is it the last one?

octagonalstar In reply to painted-cowgirl [2010-06-06 05:09:50 +0000 UTC]

It's the 2nd barrel, the one to the left. I position myself when I can catch both the 2nd barrel and the third barrel.

hey there,
this image is gorgeous, you captured the horses power beautifully!
that girl looks like she can ride! that turn is pretty nice from what i can see!
i was just wondering if i might be able to use that image in a banner, it wouldnt be
the whole image just the horses feet and the barrel, if not i understand.
it would not be distributed, i could link you there and you would be fully credited...
but like i said if not i understand, please let me know!!
thanks

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to say no, particularly since I've had this photo stolen a good number of times already. Thank you for asking first!

It was a youth rodeo - the oldest competitors were 18. I'm not sure how old Marissa is, but she's been riding in rodeos for quite a while - and winning.

RainbowFountains In reply to octagonalstar [2006-06-30 21:49:23 +0000 UTC]

oh right, still i think she is really brave, that's quite a large horse too! hehehehe, I remember the first time i rode a horse (rather than a pony) i think i was 9 or 10, he was a 15hh Swekbald cross, he was lovely lol i only fell over when i dis-mounted...i guess you could say i thought the ground was a lot closer than it really was

octagonalstar In reply to RainbowFountains [2006-06-30 23:38:16 +0000 UTC]

I'm using to riding horses no taller than 15 HH, but a friend of my sister's brought her 17 HH horse Avander out and I got to ride him. That was fun. I could get my foot in the stirrup, but I couldn't reach the pommel to pull myself up so I had to use the stands to mount from. Oh, it would probably help if I mentioned that i'm only 4 foot 11 inches.

hehehehee yeah i'm quite short too lol, love riding.......but i'm not that keen on falling off though luckly that's only happened a few times, the worst that has happened is that i have fallen in the mud, lol it was at a show as well! i had brand new jods and well....they were covered in mud by the end luckly the fall was after the show......which seems strange

That's not me riding - I took the photo. The girl riding is a neighbor of mine, lives about 7 minutes away - I drive by and see her and her two horses a lot. The palomino's name is Trooper, by the way.

Ah right slight confusion there but never mind, it was a great picture! And they are still stunning horses
