The following are answers to frequently asked questions I get so often that it makes sense to post them here.

Don't hesitate to call me if you have questions not addressed below.

Capturing spontaneous moments......

Pro Rodeo Photographer

1. How much do photos cost?

    Image prices are displayed as you go through the order process. 
    Various sizes are available, including collages, canvas prints, as well as digital images.
    Pricing include color correction, cropping for best composition, and sharpening.

2. I want a size not listed, how do I order?

    Larger, and unusual sizes are available; call to discuss any size not displayed in the photocart.

3. I see several photos I would like them combined on one print. How do I order?

    Montages/collages, black and white and other specialty photos are available.
    Call to discuss if you do not see an example of what you want. I also do custom work.

4. The colors of the photos on my monitor do not look correct. Why is that?

    There are several factors that affect the color of the photo as displayed on your monitor.
    I color calibrate my monitors using special hardware and software.
    This gives me a very accurate color rendition.

    I calibrate my monitors several times a week as the color shifts easily.

        Unless you are a photographer or graphic artist you probably do not have a color calibrated monitor.
        Internet browsers may also affect the colors.
        In addition you may be using Microsoft Paint or some other generic photo viewer to view the photos.
        These viewers will display the images differently than professional, high quality graphics programs.
        Night photography is tricky. Lights vary from arena to arena.
        Lights have their own unique “color temperature.”
        Lights cycle through different color hues, not noticeable by the human eye.
        For that reason the colors may vary in a sequence of shots.

5. How to order photos.

     Register first.
    The easiest way is to order directly from the Photo Shopping Cart in each gallery.

6. I was in the rodeo but do not see my photo. What happened? There are several possibilities...

   I may have missed the shot; though that does not happen often
   The rider is out of position
   The horse, bull, etc. is dramatically out of position
   The rider has an unflattering expression, eyes were closed, etc.
   The barrel is tipped over in the shot
   The bull and rider was blocked by a judge or bull fighter
   One of the assistants ran in front of the mutton buster, blocking the shot
   I am more than happy to check to see if there is one of you that did not get uploaded
   I will send you a proof to determine if you want to order it.

7. I see one photo of me on the website, are there others that are not displayed?

    ANSWER: More than likely…
    If you are a barrel racer, I shoot multiple shots at each barrel; choosing to upload only the best shots.
    I may have a great shot but the barrel is tipped.
    Some riders don’t want those shots displayed, but wouldn’t mind having their own copy.
    Call me if you think this is the case.
    If you are interested in seeing a sequence of shots for training, call me.
 
   If you are a queen I select the most flattering together with the horse position; collected, correct lead, etc.
   Roughstock and timed event competitors:
   I usually have multiple shots of your run, but only upload a few of the best.
   If you want to see if I have others email, FB (PM), or call me.

8. Can I get a digital copy for FB or other social media?

    Yes, if you purchase a print and want a low resolution digital print for social media I will provide one.

9. I see you posted my photo on FB.
    Can't I just use a screen capture or take a photo with my iPhone and print my own?

   The short answer is no.
   Think of it like trespassing
   All of my photographs are protected by:
        The Federal Copyright Act of 1976 :

        The Digital Millennium Copyright ACT (DMCA) enacted in 1998
             Removal of Copyright information from my photos has a statutory award of $2,500-$25,000.

   Photographs are protected by copyright from the moment of creation
   Photographers have the exclusive right to reproduce their photographs; in print or digitally.
   Purchased photos are for personal viewing only, not for:
        Copying/duplicating.
        Distributing.
        Publicity display.
        Create derivative works like drawings, paintings, sculpture etc.
   Copyright infringements--reproducing photos without permission--can result in civil and criminal penalties.

 

Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions.

I am interested in providing you with the best photos, best quality, and printed just the way you want them.
