Sunset Bull Rider
I spent Sunday evening at the Wimberley Rodeo. Unlike the larger Austin rodeo, this one was held outside and, as I discovered, the general seating area looks directly into the sun. While challenging, this offered some opportunities for a few rather different shots as the sun was setting behind the action.
The rodeo was another great example of a small-town event done really well and we'll definitely be back next year.

That’s very nice for shooting into the sun. It actually highlights the tail of the bull and adds drama to the scene.
