robsteve Posted January 10, 2007 Share #1 Posted January 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think this is from the 1999 Calgary Stampede. I shot it on RSX-100 slide film using the R8 and 400mm APO telyt. I added a little vignette in photoshop; it is not the lens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canfred Posted January 10, 2007 Share #2 Posted January 10, 2007 This is just awesome Robert. Horse and rider one unit , perfect color too.I love the flying dirt pushing home the fact there is movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 10, 2007 Share #3 Posted January 10, 2007 Rob - If anything, this is ever better than the other calf roping shot -- Talk about capturing exactly the right moment, with the horse sensing the rider's position and jamming on the brakes as it was trained to do.

imported_peter_m Posted January 11, 2007 Share #5 Posted January 11, 2007 Awesome rodeo shots Rob! I like this one the best, perfect timing you caught everything in the middle of the action. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted January 14, 2007 Share #6 Posted January 14, 2007 Rob, Not too shabby, as are the other rodeo shots. This and your ice hockey shots really ARE your speciality. Haven't seen much lately though. What happened? Thanks for digging these out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhsimmonds Posted January 17, 2007 Share #7 Posted January 17, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Rob Nice shot! I can almost smell the atmosphere. This really is the 'decisive moment'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gverdon Posted January 17, 2007 Share #8 Posted January 17, 2007 Really focusing on the action. Well done. Gérald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwolf Posted January 17, 2007 Share #9 Posted January 17, 2007 Second all of the above comments, but also love the bokeh of all the viewers in the background. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsteve Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share #10 Posted January 23, 2007 Second all of the above comments, but also love the bokeh of all the viewers in the background. John I can't remember what aperture it was shot with, but probably f5.6 or f4. The leica lenses have a pleasing look to the out of focus areas, even in the big telephotos.
