[Leica] Barriere Rodeo

[afirkin at afirkin.com (afirkin at afirkin.com)]

Hi Howard, wondered why we had not heard from you. Nice to have you back.
Helen and I went to the LUG meeting in Barcelona and are now sunning
ourselves in Southern Spain. Ronda at the moment. Here its all bull fights
and the horses are more 'refined' ;-) I'd post some images, but looks like
the wifi like everything else here at this hotel is a bit unloved :-)

Already looking forward to Africa.

Cheers

Alastair and Helen> Hi Luggers,

> On our travels we stopped in Logan Lake to visit David and Rose Young and
> spent one day at
> the North Thompson Rodeo in Barriere BC. David photographs these events
> each year and
> under his guidance I follow him around and try to take the best pictures I
> can. This year was
> hot and dry and the light was harsh. Esther sat in the stands with her XE
> 1 and the 55 - 200 zoom
> and picked off shots in the comfort of the shade. I wandered around with
> the D800E and the 300 f4.0
> and the 75 - 200 f2.8 when the longer lens proved too long.
> We begin with one establishing shot (mine)
