As an event photographer you can get stuck in a rut pretty fast, once you have the settings and know your arena you can start to venture out of your comfort zone.
One of my favorite arenas to photograph in is NRS Event Center in Decatur, Texas. BPH Productions holds a weekly barrel race every Tuesday night, the most amazing talent of barrel racers in Texas and Oklahoma have made their way thru this barrel race.
I've learned you need to try new things and spice things up from time to time because the same photo just gets old after awhile. With this over saturated market of photographers you do need to try to stand out of the crowd.
I like playing around with light and low remote angles to see how things look. I haven't worked on this runout light in awhile and last night gave it a try again. If you can hit it just right you can usually end up with something very interesting and based on the sales last night almost everyone picked the runout and lighting as a choice for them.
In your job, do a few different things to see what kind of reception you get and keep thinking outside the box so you don't blend in with the competition
