I went out with my wife on a photoshoot because I get lots of 'Get out of jail FREE cards' when I do. I was really hoping for a cloudy sky that evening and was kinda bummed with mainly clear skies. But the moments of light right before and after sunset where spectacular. She was sitting down to rest on our walk back to the car and I looked up and saw the sun starting to be split by the mountains off in the horizon. BAM! This image/moment won me a few free weekends of shooting!
This was a lucky capture! Fast movement and poor backlighting was making the shooting conditions tough but also giving a wonderful atmosphere for photography. The grain in the image from high ISO really adds to the atmosphere of this small town rodeo.
