  • Elaine van Dyk

    Elaine van Dyk

    Yep, .....”up to a point” it really doesn’t matter about the equipment, it really is what you do with it – and this is brilliant! I just love the red “cap” perched there amidst the whites and greys. Very powerful composition.

  • roybarry replied

    Elaine, thanks so very much. I had a choice with my photography- I could either hide away and be ashamed of “inferior” eqipment, or I could get out there and try my best to capture as good a photo as possible, every time. I’m so glad you like this, it means so much to me.

    I’m so sorry it’s been so long since I visited your pages, Roy but my God, this was well worth waiting for. I’d almost forgotten how much I love your black and whites – though my calendar reminds me daily – and this one is just so powerful, compelling and evocative. It has to be one of my favorites of all your work.

    CONGRATULATIONS Roy! You’ve been featured in Photo’s of Lighthouses.

    Roy, this is possibly my favourite picture ever of a lighthouse! Not only because its close to home, but the way you’ve captured the strength of nature battering against the strength of a man-made structure. The colours, tones and exposure of this photo are all perfect. Very well done mate. Stunning…

  • roybarry replied

    Thanks so much my friend. I think we both share an abiding love of these structures, it’s a great moment for me to have this feature-thank you.
