Yesterday I visited and was fortunate to be able to photograph the shearing at Deeargee Woolshed on the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia.
It was such a thrill to witness the buzz and activity of the woolshed. The shearers and rouseabouts work so hard, the pace never stops……….. 5 shearers, 9,000 sheep, 8 days.
A huge thank you to the shearers, rouseabouts, classers and especially to the Sutherlands for the wonderful opportunity, it truly was an eye-opening and fantastic experience.
Photographed through the viewfinder of my vintage Argoflex Seventy-five – taken 18/8/2010.
Untouched apart from crop.

Australian Fine Art Photographer, Dip of Fine Arts (Photography), whose work is inspired by a love of nature and the abstract.
My photographs concentrate on the light, lines, colour, shape and form found in nature…… from bushland to beaches, even my own backyard.
I hope to surprise and intrigue the viewer with my work and explore the notion that beauty exists everywhere…in the right light!
Thank you for visiting my gallery.

Love this… from this view you feel like a part of the action! : ))
That’s a great compliment Jenny, thank you, I was literally at their feet, trying hard not to get in the way and juggling the two cameras, was fun.

Excellent work. I invite you to submit this to Male Appreciation We are creating a portrait of all men and their relationships to themselves, each other, their wives, partners and their worlds. This would add greatly to that portrait. Thanks for your consideration, Tom
