This is the same bull as in the previous photo, but, 2 hours later. Rain had quit and he had dried off. When taking this picture I was nearly under his antlers at times. Considering how close I was working he stayed very calm. I started using a 24mm because most of the time the bulls bed down in tall grass. I can't began to get the pictures using my 70-200mm lens. If I back up to get them full frame the grass hides them. I have found that if I take lots of time, move very slowly, no quick or jerky movements, a lot of bulls will let me work in very close. I wouldn't recommend this for everyone. You definitely need to be aware of their body language. Full frame, no crop. Camera Settings: f/4.5 - 1/80 - 24mm - ISO 200
