Shooting rodeo is tuff due to low light and dust. My choice is D850 with 70-200mm 2.8. Here is the key: Open the aperture wide open (2.8), speed 1,000 and ISO (ready for this) 12,800 (yes, she can handle it). Also if permitted, use a monopod with feet. Tack sharp images - See Rodeo Practice https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzEYXt.


Awesome advice.

Yes. I would also add checking out available shooting locations. Sometimes there are locations in which riders must change directions and they must slow down a bit to do so. This can sometimes allow you to make adjustments to accommodate less than ideal lighting conditions.


Great suggestion.

Out of the three cameras, I only own the D850. Focus tracking is outstanding. The high pixel count allows for significant cropping to "extend" the reach of your lenses. Focus performance in the live view mode is dismal, so you'll have to use the viewfinder with the mirror down, and that means quite a bit of noise if you're taking burst shots. The Z50 will be lighter and quieter and will already have the effect of cropping your FX lenses to extend their reach. You should use the mechanical shutter at high shutter speeds to avoid the rolling shutter effect on moving subjects. None of these cameras are high ISO champions, but you should be able to get by. Assuming you are in the stands, maybe forget the wide angle zoom. I can't thing of anything more at the moment. I'm sure others will contribute their thoughts.

I have a D750 & D850 with the holy trinity of lenses. I also have the Z50. Any hints on what to take with me. Any suggested settings? It will be 7:00 pm indoor arena. These will be just for me so no pressure. Just trying to learn.

Great series. I especially like the first one. They look cute but I’ve been stung by one. It felt like I was hit by a baseball bat and caused swelling from one side of my back to the other and I am not allergic to bees. I was told by a bee keeper that these do not sting but I have pictures that show otherwise.

Nothing made me quite as satified as a barn filled with fresh baked hay and the thought of having enough to feed my herd for another year. And of course it always occurred during the hottest most humid time of the year. Thanks for the memories.

Is it compatible with the D850?
