Rodeos and State Fair

How not to land.
Anyway, there were a lot of different and challenging venues to shoot all in one place- rapid sports, outdoor photography, indoor photography in barns, portraits, event photography, animal photography, flash, natural light. I didn't take artsy photos of the carnival, but that would also be great to do especially in the evening.
It was a fun project, and harder to get good shots than I thought. I plan to go back this weekend and see if I can improve. I posted the pics to let everyone know that if you have time and are looking for something new and interesting, you may want to consider a fair and or rodeo. Eeeeeha.

Great shot Jim!
It looks like the iq really didn't suffer from the tc. How was focusing etc? This may be a solution to loss of reach with a full frame vs. crop camera.

Thanks! The focusing slows down somewhat because it has to cover more depth, but it is still fast enough that the 5D2 I used is probably the limiting factor. The only real functional issue I noticed is the need for a tripod shoe which sticks back towards the body an inch or so to balance it on a tripod.

I don't, but I gather for the 1.4X extenders the difference between the II and III isn't as big as for the 2X parts. It would be an interesting comparison!
