Hello fans, sorry it has been so long since my last post. It has been a hectic time with the holidays. With that said I am out and about taking a ton of pictures, from families and children's portraits, to jewelry product shots, to bull riding.
This past weekend I went to what is called a Buck Out. It is a rodeo on a smaller scale, only Bull Riding and Mutton Busting. Everyone knows what bull riding is, but I didn't know what Mutton Busting was until Saturday. This is for the kids, they have a chance to ride a sheep and try to stay on. I have to say "Sheep Are Fast!!". I was amazed at how fast a sheep can go running through the ring, and to watch the kids try to hold on for 8 seconds was awesome.
The Bull riding was incredible, huge fast bulls and about 80 guys holding on as long as they can, and some of them even made it to 8 seconds. I even had the chance to ride one myself, and I couldn't make it to 8 seconds, but it was definitely a rush!
Take a look at a couple of pics here and then check out my website to see even more. I have a feeling I am going to be going to more of these and post lots of great pictures. Keep an eye on the website and see new pictures about every two to three weeks as the events keep going. I did learn that I am going to need to bring some strobe flash units to get better pictures as those bulls are so fast it is hard to get a nice sharp picture. With the flash units I should be able to get some great shots and stop time while the guys are holding on for dear life.
You can see the pictures at my website, http://www.pureenergyphotography.com/. I would also like to thank Armstrong Saddlery and Trailer Sales for hosting the Buck Out. You can check out their website at http://www.armstrongsts.com/.
