The rodeo is billed as the "Biggest Little Rodeo this side of heaven".  Rodeos are a very difficult event to photograph because of the fast action and low light of the arena.  On some of the shots I used flash, on others I used a very high ISO of up to 32,000 which I Have never been happy with the amount of noise in the resulting photos, until now.  Ligthroom 3 with it's improved noise reduction really works quite well, it will give a smooth look to the image but definitely takes away the se...

These photos are from the Arkansas Glory Hole, which is a small waterfall in the Ozark National Forrest, that is a hole that has eroded through the top of a large rock overhang.  The small creek drops through this hole creating the waterfall.  Here is the result of adding some extrem...
