Finally getting around to posting my favorite pics shot during the Humble Rodeo in early Feb 2019. I have the pleasure of being a volunteer photographer for the last five years for the events sponsor, the Humble ISD Foundation (it is the 6th largest rodeo in Texas). As a volunteer, I get good access to taking pics at ringside, but this is a very intimate setting for everyone attending. This first set from the bareback and saddle bronc competitions -- all shots with Canon 1DX Mark II and EF 2.8 70-200 lens. For you sports action shot enthusiasts, hope you enjoy!

Looks like a dislocated shoulder at the least!

I’m guessing these were shot in available light - would a strobe be useful, or even allowed, in this events?

I would have loved to see these on a download. They are a little dark for me in the smaller size.

Actually, the people are far more "abused" than the horses! Most bucking horses are VERY well cared for.

Looks like the cowboys are the ones getting abused!

Stan...yes, using available light (which isn't the greatest) -- we were asked not to use flash -- thus it's a challenge to stop the action and keep the ISO low enough to retain clarity during PP.

Just shows that we have little control over a determined horse! Love seeing what the horses can do. A little painful to see the contortions of man (figuratively and literally). #6 is particularly interesting and begs the question - is everyone okay? Thanks for sharing some nice shots.

He walked away, but he was moving his arm gingerly
