Challenge.

I didn't have much time this week to shot my blog so I decided to go the the Denver National Stock Show and Rodeo. I would spend just a couple of hours looking for feature photos. My goal was to find one real nice shot.

Solution.

With my time limitation, I pretty much stayed outside. It wasn't very crowded and the weather was overcast. My "X Shot" came when I was in a food concession area. I liked the combination of the sky and the food stands. A person with a cowboy hat would finish off the image. Taking a low position, using a very wide angle lens and taking my light reading from the sky, I waited for a subject to come through the desired area. Ending up with two photos that I liked, both were used.
