A day behind myself as far as posts go here at the San Angelo (TX) Stock Show and Rodeo.

Bull Dawggin’ images but today’s visual experience was calf roping.

Once again a challenging shoot: lighting, what to feature, go wide or long and focus on a single element. Never answered the question and felt challenged all day.

Am going to shoot people, cowboys and their stuff and behavior in their immediate environment tomorrow.

The action photography can wait for the women’s barrel runs on the weekend.

Having said that here are some action photography sequences from the final round, round two of the bull dawggin’ event.

Not an activity for the older guy with the bad back; no wonder he does the photography.

And again.

It must be all about losing the hat.

Too much good shootin’ not enough time to process and post.

The kind of problem I wish on myself, now that we are done with the grind of makin’ a buck at this, or at anything.

Two days in, Slack Rodeo: team roping and bull doggin’. It has been a worthwhile education and great shooting thanks, in part, to Dudley Barker, rodeo shooter emeritus!!

Thank You Dudley, a very gracious and welcoming man.

Linda Rhodes, executive secretary of the parent organization for the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo, worked with us to make this an enjoyable and worthwhile photo opportunity.

Team roping was a huge challenge; lots happening and way far apart.

Bull Doggin’ on the other hand was compact, for the most part, and coming right at you, if that’s what you chose.

Sat around and watched half the first morning, got the ‘lay of the land’ so to speak. Challenging lighting and backgrounds, great sequences and ‘My Oh My!!’ action.

Slack Rodeo at the San Angelo Rodeo, about a week in length, is free, other than the gettin’ here and putting yourself up. Eighty degree weather with a gentle breeze. Excellent shootin’ to boot. What’s not to keep you.
