Hi, I'm Funfotos (Alan). I just a regular guy with a good camera. I have the Canon 1D Mark III. It's interesting to see the comments and help that you offer. I think that's great. I have attached a few photos. I took them this past Saturday at the in-door Rodeo. Iso was about 1200 but could not get the shutter past 100. I was using a Canon 70-300mm IS 4-5.6 lens. Please comment.

Really fabulous action shots .... very exciting.
Hope you don't mind ... I added a bit of bold detail.

I am glad that you think they are good shots. I was really trying to do a good job. It's hard hand holding, panning and zooming when I was shooting at a low shutter speed.
I think that the bolder look is a little harsh. Please look at the originals again.

Oh I agree with you ... sorry this was not a critique.... didn't mean to step on any toes I was just messing around in photoshop

No Problem. I'm not that sensitive. I did try a few different contrasts, etc. but went for a little softer look. I would really like some constructive critism if you have any. I really need to become a better photographer.

Nope :) I don't see a thing wrong with them ... you captured the subject perfectly .. they are sharp, entertaining, the lighting is great. I think you did awesome.

Hi: I like the photos either way. But, in this case I think they have enough pop naturally. I really like the subject too. Thanks for posting and welcome. Cheryl

I understand and actually agree with you. I would have cropped the other 2 differently as well. The reason they are cropped this way is that I am using them as screen savers.

Originals are fine just the way they were presented...added bold detail makes the look harsh. Good photos. I have always believed that ..."If it ain`t broke...don`t fix it "...again my opinion.!

Very surprised at the stop action you got with only a shutter speed of 100??

The shutter speed went from about 50 to 100 depending on where in the arena I was focusing. The reason these look so good is that they are small on your screen. When I blow them up to 100% you can see much more blur, BUT I still think they look good.
