The Irene Rodeo in South Dakota was a first class rodeo complete with clowns, wagon rides and cowboys and cowgirls, of course. A heavy down pour didn’t dampen the spirits of anyone who attended. I was able to move around the arena and get shots from multiple angles. All imgaes were shot with my Canon 20D and post production was done in Photoshop CS3. The entire gallery can be viewed @ RCRphotoblog.

The Byron Dragway in Byron, Illinois has long been a staple in the area. Every Sunday afternoon during racing season you can here the welcome distant roar of the high octane powered vehicles racing down the track throughout the Rock River Valley.

I did, however, experiment with HDR on this particular shoot. See the gallery in it’s entirety here: Byron Dragway
