So this year I’m shooting all the NJRA rodeos and I’m totally pumped. The first event of the year was in Puyallup during the Spring Fair. The fact that I managed not to gorge myself on fair food was nothing short of a miracle…though if we’re being totally honest it had a lot to do with the food booths being a REALLY long walk from where the rodeo was held 
Speaking of which, the rodeo was held in the fairground’s covered arena, which is pretty dark by photography standards so I brought out the big guns! Or, lights to be accurate
See those serious double shadows on the wall behind our heeler there? See how you can actually see the subject though they were all the way across the arena? That’s my pair of studio lights doing their thing. I heart them.
Those ones weren’t taken with the new lights, but with my trusty Speedlight a Canon 430 ex ii (but you can see my new babies in the background of that last goat roping pic 
)
I really had a blast meeting everyone and shooting a lot of events for the first time (like steer daubing and chute dogging) and I’m really excited for the Kitsap rodeo that starts tomorrow, as much as I dug my new lights I LOVE shooting outdoors. See you all soon!
