25.01.2022 Narrandera APRA Pro Rodeo 2020 - Slack Session All photos from Events in the Slack at Narrandera 2020 have been edited and uploaded to my website and can be viewed by clicking on the link below. https://bractionphotography.com//narrandera-rodeo-2020-sla... Next cab off the rank will be the APRA Premier State Buckle Presentations followed by the Performance Session at Narrandera Rodeo. In a perfect world, I should have been on my way home from Griffiths Rodeo now. Hope everyone is hanging in there for the time being - certainly hope the pain will be worth the gain and we are all back on Rodeo Road ASAP. Kind Regards Barry Richards BR Action Photography #BBAAAPPT

24.01.2022 Alexandra APRA Pro Rodeo 2020 All photos from the Performance Session at Alexandra in January have been edited,cropped & uploaded to my website and can be viewed at the link below. https://bractionphotography.com//alexandra-apra-rodeo-2020... BR Action Photography will be present for the Slack at Kyabram Rodeo on Friday morning at 10AM but there are no guarantees whatsoever that I'll be bright-eyed and bushy tailed due to 10AM being the time I normally get out of bed. But either way, I'll be there having a crack at capturing the great action we can expect from the McPHEE RODEO COMPANY stock along the with the best of the best from the cowboys and cowgirls in the APRA standings competing this weekend. Great Slack program looking at it on paper - when was the last time you saw a round of the Open Bull Ride and a round of the Open Saddle Bronc in the Slack Session. This is an SOS to all Victorian cowboys and cowgirls. Don't get caught napping again this year during the very popular Tri-Series at Kyabram, Merrijig and Chiltern Rodeos. If you have studied the form guide, you will have realised plenty of interstate cowboys and cowgirls are making the trip south to consolidate their position in the APRA standings for the 2020 National Finals at Warwick in late October this year. Past performance is a good indicator of future behaviour so we know they are going to do a hit & run mission on the Tri-Series. Good luck, best wishes and most of all safe travels to each and every competitor competing in the Tri-Series this weekend. I will attempt to post some highlights after each rodeo but I can't guarantee it with a 10 PM finish at Kyabram on Friday night and an 8 AM start at Merrijig for the Slack Session on Saturday morning. Kind Regards Barry Richards BR Action Photography

23.01.2022 Few LOW RES highlights of Sunday's Performance Session at Chiltern Rodeo. Kelvin Duke would have been very pleased from his seat in the Grandstand in the Heavens watching the 2020 Chiltern Rodeo. Great effort by the Chiltern Committee to put on the rodeo you did considering the arena was under water the previous Thursday.... A big thank you also to Mick Phibbs and Committee for the hospitality extended to me on Monday - much appreciated and I look forward to working with you all next year to promote the 2021 Chiltern Pro Rodeo.

23.01.2022 Neerim APRA Pro Rodeo - Performance Session. All photos from all events at Neerim Pro Rodeo on 25 January,2020 have now been edited, cropped and uploaded to my website. Next cab off the rank will be Wagga Wagga Slack & Performance Events followed by Narrandera and then the Tri-Series rodeos. Next cab off the rank will be Wagga Wagga Slack & Performance Events followed by Narrandera and then the Tri-Series Rodeos and then have a little break.... How long is out of my hands. Hope everyone is hanging in there. It is painful having had a forward plan which included completing the SCRC run of rodeos and then heading north to having all of this unexpected time on my hands. Kind Regards Barry Richards BR Action Photography #BBAAPPT

21.01.2022 Another one of my favourite genres of Action Photography is capturing FMX (Freestyle Moto-X) riders in action. These guys have nerves of steel believe me. From the time they leave the take off ramp, do their stunt, then prepare to land safely is a matter of seconds. I was fortunate to capture these guys from the DEFY Freestyle Moto-X Team at a 4 x 4 National Outdoor Show at Melbourne Showgrounds near on 6 years ago. If my memory serves me correctly, @schuiefmx was the star of... the show on the orange and white KTM motorbike. If you're not living on the edge, you are taking up too much room. Even though Rodeo is my first love when it comes to Action Photography, I could easily fall in love with other Action type events. Barry Richards BR Action Photography #BBAAPPT

21.01.2022 Flashback to my first visit to the 'Curry in 2018 for the Merry Muster and X-treme Bulls at the Showgrounds in town. Of course the entertainment continued after the X-treme Bulls with Fred Brophy's Boxing Tent firing up. Hope everyone is coping well in the current situation and it is not too long before we are all back on Rodeo Road once more.... Kind Regards Barry Richards BR Action Photography #BBAAPPT

20.01.2022 Few highlight photos from last Sunday's Chiltern Slack Session.

20.01.2022 Sporting Horses Australia Few highlight photos from Sunday's ABHA Rounds of Junior and Open Barrel Racing at Boneo Park, Rosebud VIC. For ease of navigation on my website, I have separated events into individual albums - EG, U/15, U/18, Open in SHA then Open and Juniors in ABHA Events.... Sunday events have been separated into Junior and Open. Congratulations to all who competed over the weekend. It was great to have the opportunity to photograph this event at such a beautiful purpose built and designed complex. Good to see so many Victorians out and enjoying our new found freedom judging by the amount of traffic going to and from Rosebud. Please free to tag and share competitors as I don't know all the competitors. No commercial use of these images are allowed. Photos from Boneo Park and Waubra last weekend will be uploaded to my website as time permits. Kind Regards Barry #BBAAPPT #BBAAPPT

20.01.2022 One of the McPhee Rodeo Company's rank Saddle Bronc horses in "Double Time" at Narrandera APRA Rodeo 2020 with current Rookie Saddle Bronc leader Gavin Fry on board. Gavin Fry saw out the 8 second whistle for an 81 point marking. Photos from the Performance Session are slowly being uploaded to my website and can be viewed by clicking on the link below.... https://bractionphotography.com//narrandera-rodeo-2020-per Once Narrandera Performance are complete, I will start work on the Tri-Series weekend of rodeos. After that, I'll join the ranks of unemployed Rodeo photographers but will have plenty of other projects to work on which will include helping those who have lost the will to fight for the wrongs of the past which have been conveniently covered up to protect the so called good names of the very people who were our Legal Guardians and failed miserably in their "Duty of Care" towards the people I advocate for. Please don't write me off because as soon as the first chute gate is cracked open, this Big Bronzed Aussie Rodeo photographer will be there with his trusty Canon camera ready to do it all over again. Stay safe and hang in there. We are all in this together. Kind Regards Barry Richards BR Action Photography #BBAAPPT

20.01.2022 Lang Lang #APRA Rodeo - 2018 - Flashbacks Plenty of action at Lang Lang Rodeo on Easter Monday 2018 to wrap up the last rodeo on the Southern Cross Rodeo Circuit. Presentation of Lang Lang Rodeo Committee Life Members as Lang Lang was inducted into the APRA Hall of Fame. Plenty of current day Champions along with Champions from another era.... Also present that day was Katy Scott (Miss Rodeo Australia) and a former Miss Rodeo Australia from another era in Jenny Sheahan & both looking very elegant I might add. It was great to be present this day to capture and record this ongoing history of the famous Lang Lang Rodeo. Kind Regards Barry Richards BR Action Photography #BBAAPPT

20.01.2022 When Wagga Wagga Rodeo was postponed in early February this year, there was no way I was turning around to head back to Melbourne as I was closer to the NSW border than I was to home. Cowra Japanese Gardens is one of the many places I visited in the fortnight I was waiting for Wagga Wagga Rodeo. We are fortunate to live in such a beautiful country. Can't wait to cross the Victorian border in the near future and escape another Melbourne winter.

18.01.2022 Another successful Narrandera Rodeo is done & dusted. A great crowd got plenty of bang for their buck last night during the Performance Session. Will Purcell sponsored by Wrangler took out the Open Bull Ride with a 92 point marking on the rank McPhee Rodeo Company Bull " Mr Fabulous." Will then backed up in the Chute Out and took another $1000 of Cowboy Cash home in the back of his Wranglers after covering another rank bull from the McPhee Rodeo Company in "Rugged Ridge." Too...k a couple of photos when I went for my 5 k run this morning. Unfortunately I had to turn back as the flies were that bad, they were bombarding me. Not much activity in the Competitors carpark this morning. Might be a few sore heads though. Expect a few highlight photos by later tonight. Got to head home today to check to see if the squatters haven't moved in. It's been a great 3 1/2 weeks on the road. How much fun can one man have in one day. Kind Regards Big Bronzed Aussie Photographer

17.01.2022 Narrandera APRA Pro Rodeo - 2020 All photos from Events in the Performance Session at Narrandera Rodeo have now been completed and uploaded to my website. These photos can be viewed by following the link below.... https://bractionphotography.com//narrandera-rodeo-2020-per Next cab off the rank will be the Kyabram Slack. Hope everyone is hanging in there in these unprecedented times. I am trying to make the time pass quickly by amusing myself. I have started singing 10,000 Green Bottles Hanging on the Wall. And if one green bottle should accidently fall, there'll be 9,999 Green Bottles left hanging on the wall. Watch this space. Kind Regards Barry Richards BR Action Photography #BBAAPPT

15.01.2022 Wagga Wagga APRA Pro Rodeo 2020 - Performance Session All photos I took in all Events of the Performance Session at Wagga Wagga Pro Rodeo 2020 have now been edited and uploaded to my website. To view all of these Performance photos, please click on the link below.... https://bractionphotography.com//wagga-wagga-rodeo-2020-pe In fairness to all of those patient people who have enquired, next rodeo to appear on my website will be Narrandera followed by Kyabram, Merrijig and Chiltern. My heart goes out to everybody doing it tough at this particular time. Tough times don't last - tough people do. After Chiltern Rodeo photos have finally been edited, cropped and uploaded to my website, this hyperactive photographer will be looking for something to do. In the words of Dr Hook's song, Storms Never Last. Kind Regards Barry Richards BR Action Photography #BBAAPPT

15.01.2022 #apra National Finals Rodeo 2014 - Caboolture QLD - Round 1 Highlights Quite a few of these cowboys and cowgirls from the 2014 NFR Finals are still competing at the top level with a lot of Juniors from 6 years ago now making their presence felt in the Open Standings. Hope it is not too long before we are all attending another National Finals Rodeo series.... Kind Regards Barry Richards Unemployed #apra Rodeo Photographer - Temporarily

08.01.2022 STOP PRESS - URGENT NOTICE It has just been brought to my attention for all Rodeo fans attending the upcoming 30th Birthday Party of Damo Mohr - the Panel Packing Consultant from the McPhee Rodeo Company who will celebrate his birthday at Berrigan NSW on 18 April. Because of restrictions on gatherings of 500 people or more in one place, it may be necessary to celebrate Damo's birthday in two separate sittings. Could you please indicate which is more convenient for you - 18 A...pril or 19 April. This is one of the biggest social events on the SCRC Rodeo calendar and we want to get it right. Please reply to my post by indicating which day suits you. 1. 18 April 2. 19 April. Thank you for your interest. Kind Regards Barry Richards BR Action Photography

07.01.2022 Proud to have one of my photos from the 2020 Wagga Wagga APRA Rodeo grace the front cover of the March magazine. Even prouder that the photo is of fellow #teamwrangler rider Brad Pierce. Plenty of #teamwrangler sponsored riders will be competing at Kyabram, Merrijig and Chiltern over the Tri-Series rodeos this weekend. Drop by the Star Suite for your complimentary Wrangler, Thomas Cook or Twisted-X stubby coolers, stickers or even yellow Wrangler balloons. Good luck to all of... our #teamwrangler sponsored riders this weekend in Brad Pierce, Dave Worsfold, Georgie Kapeller, Melissa & Stacey Wilburn. I would like to take this opportunity to wish fellow Rodeo guru Photographer Dave Ethell and his beautiful wife Jen all the very best for their retirement. Both of you have been a great source of inspiration and support to me since first meeting you at Nebo Rodeo back in 2011. I look upon that meeting at the catalyst that got me started in Rodeo photography. Your honesty was nothing less than brutal and you certainly didn't sugarcoat the life of being a photographer on Rodeo Road in the APRA. I certainly went in with my eyes wide open and hope I can keep going until the same age that Dave carried the banner for. I salute you Dave as do many other fellow photographers and competitors who have always held you in the highest esteem. Will look forward to staying in touch with you both and catching up with you somewhere down the Road. Dave Ethell - the man who taught me all I know about Rodeo photography but not all that he knows. Kind Regards Barry Richard's BR Action Photography

07.01.2022 Buchan APRA Rodeo 2014 Few highlight photos from Buchan's 2014 Easter Sunday Rodeo. Interesting to see some of the Juniors wearing helmets in the 2014 photos have now moved up into the Open ranks in 2020 and making their presence felt. Hope everyone is coping OK with this lockdown.... With a bit of luck, here's hoping we'll all be back travelling Rodeo Road in the near future. Kind Regards Barry Richards BR Action Photography Unemployed Rodeo Photographer - Melbourne VIC

07.01.2022 We love FOOTBALL, MEAT PIES, KANGAROOS & HOLDEN CARS - but only when there are no rodeos to photograph. Flashback to February this year tripping around southern NSW while waiting to cover Wagga Wagga & Narrandera #apra rodeos. Hope everyone is coping well during the current crisis. Miss travelling Rodeo Road and can't wait until our next Rodeo whenever that maybe. Kind Regards... Barry Richards Big Bronzed Unemployed Aussie Rodeo Photographer See more

05.01.2022 Chiltern APRA Pro Rodeo - Tri-Series 2020 It was only a matter of time before this panel packing guru from the McPhee Rodeo Company was going to make it to a cover photo. Check out Damo's front cover photo at the link below.... https://bractionphotography.com//chiltern-rodeo-2020-perfo Damo Mohr is pictured alongside Rodeo Protection Athletes Luke Rosetta and Lukey Davidson before the start of the Performance Session at Chiltern Rodeo last Sunday night. Well done boys. Love the colours of your Wrangler tops. #wranglerwesternau #purewestern #thomascookclothing #twistedxqu #BBAAPPT

01.01.2022 Andrew Cleave Memorial Classic Sidecar Event - Undera Park Raceway. October 2018 Few flashback photos from a great night of sidecar racing. It was that cold at the Presentation Ceremony over at the footy clubrooms, we were all standing around fires trying to keep warm.

01.01.2022 Few LOW RES Highlight photos of the Slack & Performance Sessions at Merrijig Rodeo last Saturday. The condition of the bucking stock of Anna & Garry McPhee from McPHEE RODEO COMPANY is a credit to the stock contractors. Not forgetting the timed event cattle from Terry Evison from Pine Grove. Feel free to tag & share as long as image is not altered in any shape or form. I am having a weekend off this weekend to try and catch up on a backlog of work - not only rodeo photography... but other work I involve myself in. Good luck to all those going to the Southern Cross Rodeo Circuit Fundraiser at Yella Rose Ranch at Millbrook tomorrow. Please get behind this great cause. I can guarantee you two things about tomorrow's fundraiser. A great venue and you will be made very welcome by a good bunch of people.
