Winners and losers-Riverton rodeo

Riverton rodeo saddle bronc

Riverton, Utah

Shooting JPG, because I inexplicably lost a CF card between house and arena, so I needed to conserve space.

Hang on to your hat, cowboy. Riverton, Utah

I like to keep my white balance at Daylight, unless I have a good reason to change it. My rationale: Velvia was daylight balanced, and we used it to capture all the changing colors of golden hour into sunset. Auto white balance would "correct" all that lovely light into something much colder. No thanks.

Graceful exit, Riverton, Utah

The landing wasn't so pretty as this picture might suggest.

In the same situation I'll often use the cloudy white balance for a little more warmth and saturation. Shade is often too much.

Thanks for the tip about white balance! I'll remember that. Yup, still learning!
