Description

Well it has been a while since I posted any of my bull ride captures so I wanted to do so again. The rider is Clalyton Williams and the bull is "The Big Cat". Out the gate he is already riding high with all 4's in the air. Taken at ISO 100, F/5.6 and 1/640 sec to stop the action handheld from the middle of bull arena.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/640 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 148.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV
