High bucking in the chute

High bucking in the chute
This capture is all about timing in action photography. This is a capture very rarely seen and I was glad to get it. I usually try to get a capture just as the chute opens but I have never gotten one like this with the bull already 4 hooves up while in the chute. As photographers we will take knowledge & preparation plus luck anytime to get that rare shot.

You are correct, Emile, your timing is absolutely to perfection! So are the clarity, tones, detail & stop action!

  Thanks Patrick, Zita, John and Ellen. He only lasted 4.5 sec Ellen and did not score.
