Doesn't Have to Be Pretty

Rodeo photography is sort of like getting off a bronc. It doesn't have to be pretty to be successful. 

The pickup men rescue another rider at the National Cowboy Pro Rodeo Association Finals in Alabama A&M's Agribition Center, Huntsville, Alabama.

I'm confined to the stands and the lighting is standard-issue rodeo lighting...but it's still practice and the action is good so I do what I can with what I've got.  I'm just happy to see a rodeo in town.
