Choices for Chandler Bounds [Photography Contest Pictures of People Babies & Children]
Uploaded: May 04, 2010 15:28:33
Chandler Bounds age 17 and a high school senior in Lubbock chose to give up his Senior Prom to compete in the 33rd GPM bull ride. He proved his metal the first night out taking second place with an 88 point ride. Here he is riding high on Wampos. Canon 5D, ISO 100, F/7.1 at 1/640 sec handheld from middle of the bull arena. I bet he will be back again nest year and watch out.
Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/640 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 115.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D

This is fantastic...all four feet of the ground and eye contact too! A belated congrats to you on your finalist award! #8957140Emile Abbott October 11, 2010
I get out in the middle of the bull arena with the bulls to get these bull ride and rodeo shots. I do not recommend it to anyone. I have gotten hooked by the horns 3 times and stepped on by the bronco. It is dangerous out there. Glad you liked this one (I almost did not enter it) #8961266Stan Kwasniowski October 31, 2010
