Opportunity strikes in the unlikliest of places

I've just got back from our village butcher and during the course of my transaction I was asking him if the beef he sold was local. It transpires that they have their own herds lorded over by a championship bull of apparent enormous proportions, he then went on to say that wants to get a big photo of the bull to put up in the shop so I volunteered my services (as you do!). After asking if I was used to animals and did I mind going in fields he is going to use me for some portrait shots of the bovine monstrosity.

Must remember to wear a red t-shirt.

Excellent news Colin.

You need a t-shirt that says "Professional Photographer" on it. The bull wont mind if its white on red

Good work Hacker. As far as I know, bulls are colour blind btw.

 

[h.r.ford]

Sounds great! Are you taking payment in meat?

i was told they arent colour blind, but like cats, can see in sort of pastels, so red is an obvious colour :shrug: But frankly, I have never got close enough to find out!

Great job colin and good luck with that!

According to my indepth, post graduate research(read quick google), It seems that all cattle are colour blind;

Or go naked, like the PETA protestors are going to do in Pamplona.(Not the smartest idea ive ever heard of.)

 

[Bolerus]

yeah wear black trousers and a black shirt with pretty white paint splotches on

then fill a rubber glove full of water and dangle it from the front of your belt, and the bull will come and pose for you nice and close like


seriously though, congrats. on a similair vane, or is it vain. A few years ago I ended up writing (and selling) my biggest database project after a usual "how are you today" type conversation with my local shop keeper
