High School Rodeo

Last week I shot the State High School Rodeo Competition in Tooele (~40 miles west of SLC). The light was pretty amazing and I had fun shooting these young athletes ride the fierce animals. I also played around with a "Lens Baby." This is a poor man's tilt and shift lens that is made from plastic and has no electronic components. It gives the images a blurry vignette around the edges. It was a challenge to manually focus this lens on the fast moving subjects, but I do like the end results.
