I think the craziest stunt I ever pulled with a camera was when I shot a Texas Longhorn Bull for the cover of an Official USAF Newcommers Guide. They are Very Large and Fast.. Fortunately he was a ham.. used a 50mm lens. When I shot some mama Longhorns with new babies, we stayed in the pickup truck and used a long lens!! No meaner animal..jh
