Thanks for the comments. I was able to view your galleries as well and although I shoot landscape 100%, I enjoyed viewing your work, probably because it's not landscape. Expanding light, C.

TO ALL GUESTS:Other than PBase Members
Please note: Regardless of what PBase says: You can't post in the Guest book, please post in a gallery if you would like to contact me, or my email is Madlights at Yahoo.com. The Guest book only works for PBase members, and the admins HAVE NOT CORRECTED the information here...that you can't post...it will seem as if it's accepting it then nothing. Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience

Barri -

thanks for you kind words and attention regarding the shifting sands of Folly. The town made sure that the home owners/buildes signed disclaimers that the town had no liability if the land eroded and the houses crashed into the sea. The coastal consel won't allow anything other than rip/rap be placed at the base of the structures and that doesn't really retain the sand at all. I thought one of the houses would go in 2006 but the beach began to build back up again under it. This summer was bad for erosion on the ends of the island but not so much in the long middle section. The folks who built these woebegotten Macmansions flipped them to new owners, of course, and won't suffer the losses. Oh well.

Hello Barri,

Thanks again for taking the time to come by my galleries. All of your comments are much appreciated, and sure help to inspire me in the search for taking more great exposures.

Dear Barri, I bed to excuse my ausence till now, because I got a very,very slow line on the smallest Canary island, (21,6 kb/sec) and I have to spare the computer with my wife, who's a Pbaser too... But I will still have looks inside ur galleries, especially for the digi-paintings, I love them a lot!
Regards, Uli.

Guest 18-Sep-2007 13:23
Hello Barri,
I really enjoy your galleries and admire your presentation. Dividing things by room makes browsing through your work less straightforward in some ways, but more fun, and it more closely mimics what it is like in a real gallery, when surprises may be just around the corner.
I admire your work and the variety of images. You obviously get a great deal of joy from your photography and I am happy that you are sharing that with all of your visitors.
best,
Patrick
Guest 28-Jun-2007 22:14

Hi, Barri,
thx for looking in to my Flying Legends gallery! And, yes, that is a P-51B with the more common P-51D. Add to that the sound of Merlins and you have a perfect day out in the English countryside!
Guest 21-Jan-2007 02:18
Hey Barri! How's it going? All is well here - good things happening - hope the same for you. Thanks for looking in and leaving footprints...

Barri,
I have added you to my favourites so that I can follow your recent posts! I am amazed at your talent in capturing the special moments in your pictures. Wow...is the word and awesome is how I feel about them. I am glad I come across your lovely gallery! Cheers.
Peter Bardwell20-Nov-2006 17:57
Barri - thanks for those kind words! I really enjoyed copying my old slides last winter. Perfect activity when you can't get out and about so readily, with the distraction of looking at all the old pictures!

I just checked DPReview's test of the 8080 and it looks ideal, with the Super Macro setting best for slide copying. It focuses just 5cm from the lens and I wonder if it's possible to make a slideholder from a short length of (empty) Pringles tube, adding tape round the interior wall until it fits snugly over the end of the lenshood perhaps?

Based on their figures for the area covered at that setting (they say 40x30mm on page 16 of the review), when a slide's 36x24mm image is centred in the viewfinder (to minimise the poor corner performance they mention) it should give an image of about 5MP - a bit better than mine which averaged about 4MP.
Good luck!
Roozbeh Shivayi19-Nov-2006 09:53

Carvell Photography30-Jul-2006 19:49
Barri, thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I've just been looking around your galleries and your photos are on a completely different level, both beautiful, and thought provoking. Definitely not something that can be absorbed at one sitting.

Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner!
Barri - you are so on - wow! You are very perceptive. After I got the hang of it, I took liberties and started playing around with spatial and temporal relationships to make new "realities". You win a prize - I'll send you a print!

Barri, hello!

I know I've been a great big PBase slouch... (my excuses are that the site is blocked from the office, which is where I do most of my internet stuff and at home my hands are full and time is very limited), but I do appreciate you visiting from time to time and leaving a note to say hello. You are one of the people I hoped to catch up with...

Enjoyed your galleries and images. I especially like your comment (image) on your profile page. It does seem like it should all be so simple, but then the complexities enter. Perhaps stripping back to the basics (colors, letters, etc.) re-grounds you.--Rene
Kathy Pilgrim21-Apr-2006 14:35
What talent you have! It is a real joy to visit your galleries. I found you because you commented on several of mine. I was so glad as I might not have found such an inspiring place to vist. I will return.

Barri,
First of all I'd like to thank you very much for your kind and inspired comments to my work. Feedback like yours helps me improving my photography.
Secondly, I visited some of your galleries and I discovered not only a beautiful work, but a photographic style focused on a rich communication using minimal means of expression. A hard task. A success for you. My congratulations and I hope to come back soon for the rest of your work and your updates.
My best regards,

Guest 24-Jan-2005 08:51
Hi Barri,
Your High Contrast work provokes prismatic thought through limited spectrum. A unique,
and inspiring subjectiveness unmatched by others I've seen. "The flight of the bumble bee" would be a musicial companionate to your visual compositions. A true Artist with a lens, who's compexity of form is easily missed without proper attention to detail. I find myself returning time and again with high expectations, and always greated with an unexpected treat.
Thanks for sharing, Dang
