Hi David,
The good part about this picture is?.the Bull
appears ?not to have horns!? J Trust me that really is the good part!
Good Mornin' Ted!
Yes ... this bull had been "shorn", because he
has a known history of using his horns against his riders.
Simply because the picture is ?picture ? timing - focus perfect!?
Thankee, kindly, good Sir!
Quite often once the bull dumps the rider, they
immediately spin about head down and proceed to
head hammer the rider if he?s still on the ground.
That?s one of the main reasons there are rodeo
clowns who jump in front of the animal
distracting it from killing or injuring the cowboy.
Well done David you?re developing an interesting
collection of salable photographs to cowboys and rodeo magazines.
However if you haven?t been shooting in the
competition infield from a position in front of
the ?chute? gates may I offer a tiny bit of advice? DON?T! J
It?s bad enough covering a football game and
being on the bottom of the pile when 3 or 4
players knock you to the ground on the sidelines
and you?re on the bottom of the pile camera still in hand. J
But being knocked flying by a horse is enough to
deter anyone from ever becoming a rodeo photographer.
But a bull is the worse by far! Being knocked
flying, you one way.. cameras into space launch! J
Trust me from experience there?s only one hit
worse? that of a flying wheel off a crashed
stock car during a race! They all hurt like hell! J
I believe you, Ted! But, I'm also willing to take your word for it! ;-)
Thanks for looking... and for taking the time to comment.
Cheers!
