Hi everyone-

I had some time yesterday to work up additional rodeo images so I'll go with those for a while.

The processing on the images is pretty much the same. I considered trying out some other looks but really think that this treatment works for the rodeo images. Soooooo to keep the images in somewhat of a series I went with the same processing for all of them.

The process, which was loosely described yesterday is probably the easiest part of the post. Simplifying the image, by that I mean removing unwanted elements and cleaning up dust and small distractions is what really takes up the majority of time when preparing these images.

I will be attending the rodeo again this summer and I am reeeallly looking forward to shooting it with my new 70-200 2.8. That should make for some interesting images.

I have not heard back from the people I was supposed to provide content for so it looks like I will be posting that content here at my blog in the near future. Because I wasn't really prepared to do that I have to quickly learn how create and post tutorials here. Please bare with me while I attempt doing this myself. I'll keep you posted!

Have a great day!

Oh, here's the raw image:
