Bull flying sideways

Uploaded: July 15, 2013

Description

In my many years of photographing rodeos and bull rides I have never seen this before. The bull was flying sideways, dust was all over the place and the bull rider did not know what to do. Obviously bull did not land on his feet and the rider got a re-ride. Neither bull or rider were hurt but I thought it was an amazing moment right out the chute.

Exif: F Number: 2.8, Exposure Bias Value: -1.00, ExposureTime: 1/750 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 6400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 115.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV

I have watched a lot of bull riding and your right, nothing like this. Something that big that far off the ground. Hats off to you for some of the most amazing photo work. You got all the action with beautiful details and color. What a thrill. #10769101
