ltruskett

ok, I was toying with the idea of becoming a lighthouse keeper…...........but just changed my mind…..........the waves have scardey me!!!! love what you have done here….......you have really mastered the art of photographing lighthouses…......... soooo good.

roybarry replied

Thanks LT- I do love lighthouses, they have so much drama about them and don’t move too quickly, making them quite easy to capture…......

raymondo

Been on my list for sometime this…......nice one Roy.

roybarry replied

Cheers Ray- I have taken quite a few shots here, at all states of the tide. I think it’s best when the water is high- get yourself a tidetable!

midzing

brilliant shot Roy, well done

roybarry replied

Thanks Wendy. Nice to see you back, friend.

fauselr

great shot, perfectly exposed

roybarry replied

fauselr-thanks so much.

Steve Chapple

Love the ‘feel’ here. Worn and weathered, yet strong and defiant!

roybarry replied

Agreed- I think it’s why I love lighthouses so much

Moorey

Great shot. There is no land left…it’s all in water! Love it!

roybarry replied

Thanks Moorey. This light stands on a little crop of rock, the only outcrop in about 15 miles of uninterrupted beach.

madworld

Superb shot..just beautiful!

roybarry replied

Thanks madworld- glad to meet up with another fan of all things watery!

LauraHartley

Oh yesssssssssss….................extremey elegant image, with that touch of color – superb. A lovely tribute to the stalwart light house of lore. Digging that dramatic sky. Perfection.

roybarry replied

Laura, thank you so much.

Anne Schwaderer

Amazing atmosphere, love the muted colours.

Ginger Barritt

Amazing photo…...

roybarry replied

Ginger, thanks friend.

Arnaud Lebret

Definitely a great picture !

roybarry replied

Arnaud, thank you so very much.

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.

Harlan Mayor

Excellent shot! I would hate to work there!.

roybarry replied

Thanks Haraln-I guess that working there would have both pro’s and con’s!

:))

funkybunch

stunning shot, beautiful sc

roybarry replied

Thanks funky!!

Jaytee

eye catching work my friend, treatments soft and it looks great.

roybarry replied

Thanks very much Jodi. I think the “art” in selective colour is in applying the “less is more” approach. Really glad you like this shot.

Matt Penfold

Superb image Roy, the selective desaturation and the contrast in the water make it a real stand out, spot on mate :-)

roybarry replied

Thanks Matt. I was so lucky with this shot-caught it on my little Sony compact and it has been such a popular image!

Thanks for your visit, how’s my home town going?

lianne

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.

roybarry replied

Such a beautiful compliment, Lianne-thank you so much and welcome back!

-Lilith-

Did I already tell you how AWESOME this is???

Wow what a cool shot ! One of the nicest lighthouse shots I have ever seen, it looks like it is doing it’s job well! It looks battered and beaten!! :)

roybarry replied

Thank you, Gail. I agree-I love the weatherbeaten appearance of this light, it really does fit so well in its’ environment.

hsien-ku

roybarry replied

Kendra, thank you so much. I have to say that this is probably the best shot I have ever taken. It wasn’t thought out terribly well, I just caught it with my trusty little Sony compact, while out walking with my dogs. I am so glad that it is well liked by all of my friends.

est1979

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…
