David Young offered: Subject: [LRflex] Re: How NOT to ride a Brahma Bull... >>>More importantly, Bill, it looks as if I'm following in some famous back aches! ;-)<<< Hang in there David, as long as you don't get knocked ass over tea kettle in the riding infield camera in hand you'll be fine! :-) However just in case: Never let go of the camera and no matter how many times you roll over and auto focus with camera clicking, something is going to be in focus. :-) You never know, your last exposures maybe your best, so keep the finger tight on the shutter release no matter which direction your body may be flying! Once you've been knocked down by a couple of bucking horses you wont feel your back at all, so it doesn't matter until you reach the age of 80! :-) Trust me, after a few ass over tea kettle episodes covering the Calgary Stampede for my book on cowboys, "Men of the Saddle" you wont feel a thing! :-) ted
