Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/3200 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 135.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV

Thank you Bobby, Carla, Ellen, Michelle and Joy. I have yet to go through and even begin to edit most of the shots. Had to get back to the medical biz and take care of sick. #9401246Val Feldman May 12, 2011
Ride 'em, cowboy! :) Terrific action shot, Emile - the colors, clarity and details are superb...I imagine, being so close to the action, you had to be mindful not only of your camera work but which way this rider and animal were going! You did it all superbly! #9401453Emile Abbott May 12, 2011
