Yearning to be a Cowboy

This has to be my favorite image from the James Ranch Round Up in mid May. One of the cowboys sons was looking longingly across the meadow at his Dad as they were heading out to round up cattle. You could feel the pull that he had to be out there with his Dad. Through out the day this little eight year old kid proved his worth helping out wherever he could. I get the feeling that he is going to grow up to be a great cowboy like his Dad.

Here is another one from the round up on the James Ranch. Time for a lunch break from editing. I've only got a couple more dozen images left to process. Whoo Hoo!

One From the Round Up

Editing images from a big photo shoot can be a big chore. About three weeks ago I photographed a cattle round up on the James Ranch near where I live. It was a long, fun, all day affair and I took a lot of images. This is one of my favorite images so far. I've got about a quarter of them left to process. God's love and blessings upon your day, chris This image was created with a handheld Canon 7D MkIIand a Canon EF-S17-85mm lens at 30mm. The camera settings used were AV mode, ISO 800, F 16.0 at 1/640th of a sec.
