I have spent most of the last 10 days photographing the Iowa State Fair. Here is one from an event call Mutton Busting where little kids try and ride sheep. Shot from the top of the bleachers with a Pentax K3 with a Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 zoom.

I have not heard of that sport, but the action here you captured is excellent. Even caught the air born shoe, wtg! tigs=^..^

I have heard someone say they were going to bust my chops before Bob. I didn't realize they were talking about mutton chops.
I suspect you got some interesting shots at the fair.
Did you shoot the Butter Cow?
Wonderful shot by the way.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Well this is a new one for me, lol...excellent and unique capture...poor kid looks like he landed with some impact while the sheep appears quite nonchalant about the whole thing.

Great capture especially with the dirt flying up along with the shoe.

Oh my gosh Robert, this is so awesome!! You couldn't have had better timing for this shot and I'm surprised his eyes are still open upon impact with the ground:):) Love it!!!!!!!!!!

Nice action shot. Good that the youngster has safety helmet on. The hoof of the sheep is very close to his hand. Few more tries before he can try a rodeo :)

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
