From the Show Horse arena at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo grounds.

The lighting in this building was terrible. I was really pushing the limits of my camera. Shot with my Nikon D300 at ISO 3200! There is WAY more noise than I would like, but it was the only way to get the shot. (Handheld, with no flash).

This was the "Power" ride. And no, I didn’t ride it… Nikon D300 w/ 18-200vr. I didn’t expect much from this lens in this situation, but it did a pretty darn good job. ]]>

The band "Two Tons of Steel" performed at the San Antonio Stock Show grounds on Feb 6th, 2010. They really got the crowd moving!

Front man Kevin Geil, shown here, describes their sound as “countrybilly”. For eight years, the band has been voted "Best Country Band" by the San Antonio Current. IMHO, calling them a "country band" falls far short of describing their musical versatility. These guys really rocked!
