Picture This! -- Our Next Assignment

Outdoor Sports
Part of the fun of good weather is getting outdoors to capture all the action. For some it's baseball, for others it's a day at the skate park or on the soccer pitch. Sports photography allows us to work with long lenses and fast shutter speeds, and to hone our shooting instincts to capture the peak of action. So comb your files for those outdoor action sport shots and show us how you recorded the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. This shot was made with a Canon Rebel with a 200mm lens across the arena at the annual Taos, New Mexico Rodeo. Exposure was f/8 at 1/500 sec at ISO 400.
