Good shots. I really like the 2nd one where the rider is flying off the bull to the left. LOVE the look on the bull's face. "Dang, that was easy.... Who's next?"
The bad thing about my cameras, even the Konca-Minolta 8mp, is that they are not great in action shots. If I had taken that shot, first, it wouldn't have been that good, secondly, the rider, and the bulls head, in movement, would have been blurred. I have bought the more expensive cards. Unfortunately, the Konica-Minolta 8mp, uses a COMPACT FLASH card, and it probably has less capablity than the newer, smaller cards.
Agan, great shots, especially the one that I detailed above.... Thanks for posting.

You did a great job stopping the action! Kelley (Texas) 
Shutter speed is a challenge, especially under indoor artificial lighting. Even though it looks bright the camera exposure doesn't see it that way. As you know 3 things affect exposure, shutter speed, aperture and ISO. I had to use aperture of f2.8 and ISO of 3200 to get 1/250 second shutter speed for these shots. High ISO usually this adds noise to the photo but fortunately the D300 works pretty good at 3200 and can go even higher. High ISO also helps with low light wildlife photography, fast action sports and club photography where you have to stop action.
I use "normal" speed Compact Flash cards, that has more to do with how fast the data is moved in the camera.

My older DSLR could not have handled the noise at that high ISO setting and produce pictures of this quality. You produced some great pictures. Kelley (Texas)
