I already see things in a different light and look forward to learning how to capture nature and my surroundings at their best and just enjoy this new hobby to the fullest. UPDATE: I HAVE NOW BEEN WITH THIS CLUB FOR 5+ YEARS AND HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM THE MEMBERS AND PRACTICING. I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR HELPING ME MOVE FORWARD WITH YOUR POSITIVE ENCOURAGEMENT. LIFE IS GOOD!

Working with Blurred Images
 |
| First attempt at motion blur while traveling in our truck at 60 mph. This particular picture was about the fourth click of the shutter and ended up my favourite. I went on trying all sorts of settings to see what would happen. I uploaded a few. |
 |
| It was not easy to time the shutter at the right time. As a matter fact I would say it is almost impossible. I tried burst mode too and that helped, but still no control of when the shutter would open and close. As usual I never delete a picture until I see it on the computer. |
 |
| I sped up the shutter speed to see what I could capture. |
 | |||
| This one was probably at 1/2000 sec. Not a still, but close to it. I found this to be a very interesting experiment and highly recommend it as an exercise if you want to learn more about the capabilities of your camera and you! |

 |
| "Mutton Bustin" |
 |
| John and I had a wonderful time at our first Rodeo/Livestock Show. I apologize for the "noisy" shots but wanted to at least show you what we saw and the fast-paced action. I could not get my 28 - 300 lens to open up enough or to get a fast enough speed and ended up having to use 3200 ISO! But in the end at least I got practice and had fun and that is what it is all about! Enjoy! |
 |
| You can see how the man in the blue was keeping the bull away from the rider. They sure knew what they were doing! |
 |
| Notice the chest protection gear they wear now. Some wore helmets too! |
 |
| These to cowboys were in a small skit and had come out of the dressing room right across and down from my top seat at the show. They caught my eye and performed for me. I love this shot! |
 |
| This guy was one of the hundreds of cattle on display in the big barns. They treat them like royalty! |
 |
| Part of the Budweiser team. John loved the big truck...I love the horses! |
 |
| Looks like these men were having the time of their lives! |
 |
| Hey Amego! Let me have some! |
 | |
| Come on...just a bit closer...let me taste that camera! |
 |
| Oh boy! Oh Boy! Can I take this home?? Please!!! |
