Taken at the Connersville Indiana High School Rodeo event.Time
This picture was taken at my sons first rodeo. He was almost 4 in this picture. It was raining out a light drizzle and he asked me for my hat. since I had a hood I let him wear it. We were on the arena gates and as I looked over at my son I saw this and had to take the picture. Easily one of my favorite pictures of him and the first photo I uploaded on Viewbug. Taken March of 2017 at around 10 amLighting

Always be aware of your surroundings and know your gear. There is no one perfect setting for pictures, upgrade your equipment when you get the opportunity. Sometimes the best pictures are not the ones you set up and plan, their the ones that you catch on the spur of the moment.
