Peter's World

"High Country Muster"

"As I drove towards Lake Clearwater these cows & their musterer appeared in front of me, fantastic I thought, a timeless scene I'd been longing to find. I stopped & waited, but then the cows saw me & they stopped as well. The musterer hurried them up & in seconds they scattered & I lost the shot, a disaster! Thoroughly annoyed with myself, I carried on down the valley & an hour later, returned back down the same road. Then I saw the same herd up ahead of me, but now of course I was behind them. You can imagine my excitement, ‘Don't stuff it up' I said to myself. Creeping up quietly, I gave the windscreen a quick clean for a clear shot & captured this classic image from behind the steering wheel!"

“When Peter delivered our pieces, we couldn't believe the incredible detail. The images on his website - impressive as they are - really didn't do our prints justice!“
