I See for Free
This is one of the first perspectives I fell in love with at the rodeo. It's not the shot the pros are paid to get. You can't photograph them catching the calf from this angle — and that's what people want to see. But that's just another example of why I choose to stay an amateur. Money changes everything. Even the way you see.
Anyway, I've got a dozen of these I could publish from this rodeo. I chose this one because I like how the subject is mirrored by the rider in the distance — with a red shirt and straw hat. (Just in case you looked but didn't see.)
From the Georgia High School Rodeo Association event at the Northeast Alabama Agri-Business Center in Rainsville.
