No Bull!

Posted by Sidonie (Sydney, Australia) on 9 February 2007 in Sport & Recreation and Portfolio.

This guy was thrown from the mechanical bull - where? On the lawns in front of Parliament House, Canberra - the most incongruous place to set up a fairground ride! The TV camera crews were there to film the "save Qantas jobs" demonstration which had just finished (see yesterday's post), and found this guy's tumble worth some footage.

Poor guy! He's caught in a triangle of cameras. I notice he's FACING the TV cameras...some people will do anything to get on telly. Some quick thinking on your part, though, to get good composition from a fleeting moment. Nice job!

@Ken McCoy: Thank you Ken - fast and lucky!
