Wow, small world isn't it. ATPI is a lot of fun. Very friendly atmosphere. I didn't go to the rodeo on my visit. I did a food photography workshop with Wendy Dooldeniya. Boy was I hungry after that workshop!

I made the rodeo pix during the ATPI summer workshop - last weekend. They moved the dates and for the past two years we've gone to the Cooper rodeo on Friday evening. Good thing about small town events - they let the photographers go everwhere. One guy got great video of a bull charging him...well a few seconds of the charge then a lot of "retreat". Yes, still going to ATPI (Association of Texas Photographic Instructors).

Snaketail are you still a member of ATPI? I went to some of there workshops a few summers ago. Got to meet a lot of great people.

Thanks for the nice comment. Cooper is east of Dallas, just south of Paris. I'll post on P-A-D next time.

Love it! I'm so envious of the D700's high ISO capabilities.

Great shots snaketail. Cooper, Tx is that north of Houston? I like the red boots on the blue fence in your flickr photostream.

adamz the P-A-D thread has really been turning into the birds only thread.

nice picture for the photo-a-day thread

Had the opportunity to visit a small town rodeo - they let the photographer go everwhere with no restrictions. As the sunlight dimmed the ISO went up to 3200 on my D700. Most of the shots were made with a 50mm f1.4. Here's one of mine
