framing suggestion:

In 2017, Suffolk hosted the National Sheepdog Trials at Haughley Park, just up the road.

I knew there’d be crowds and that I’d have to worm my way to the front to get a good

viewpoint. But with the camera hand-held the dogs moved so fast I could barely keep

them in the viewfinder with the tele lens on, and they rarely came close enough to the

crowd to get a decent image. So I wandered the rest of the show, and came across a

tent where sheep-shearing was being demonstrated by an old boy whose Suffolk accent

was virtually impenetrable. He was shearing Portland sheep, presumably shipped in from

darkest Dorset, and in a small paddock to the side they were milling around, patiently

waiting their turn. In turn, I waited patiently for them to rearrange themselves for the

shot you see here. The soft light was perfect, the sheep were calmer than I was, and a

minute later the big ram in the middle was having his collar felt.
