Lots of Bull

Description

The Texas Longhorn can be very intimidating.... and they are imposing. With a little confidence and going Nose to Nose with one is a rush to say the least - and I was able to capture this image!

*This particular steer was a big pussycat so it was a lot of fun doing this! I do not recommend this if you are not familiar with these animals.

Canon EF-M18-55 at 18mm.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/400 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 18.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS M
