A couple of pictures from the Reno Rodeo which ran June 18-27. I spent 3 nights shooting it and I must admit, it was harder than I expected. I guess it is like shooting anything else– the more you do it, the better you get. I had never even been to a rodeo before this– even after going to school in Texas for 4 years. So, it was a bit of a learning curve.
