Dubois Rodeo Panning

Panning is a tough technique to master, and I am far from doing that. But I had fun trying at the Dubois Rodeo. I love the motion that results from trying to track the subject while it is moving. It’s really difficult to get the right part in focus - the eye of the horse and the face of the rider are the most important. This was the best panning shot I took all night. It’s not perfect, but I really like it. The rider’s purple shirt just pops, and really is harmonious with the aqua decorations on the horse.

I thought these folks made for a beautiful image, nestled as they were against that huge rock face with sagebrush behind them.
