| Bull Riding | October 19, 2009 @ 8:53pm | All,
Last weekend I attended my first bull riding tournament. The combination of low light and a f4.0-5.8 lens made for tough shooting conditions (even at ISO 3200).
The shot below was one of the better ones of the evening. I would appreciate any comments you may have.

This was at 3200 ISO? I see very little noise. Nice! |

Thanks for taking the time to comment.
The focus was somewhat on the bull. When I tried to follow the bulls too closely, nothing was in focus. My shutter speed was about 1/60 most of the night so it was almost impossible to freeze the action.
The noise is low because of a Photoshop plug-in called Noise Ninja.

But I do like your image a lot - it shows the action very well with the slight blur.
