Lismore based photographer Andrew Sooby took this stunning photograph at one of Byron Bay’s most famous landmarks – the Eastern-most-point up near the Byron Bay Lighthouse. Says Sooby: “I love ‘contra-jour’ shots – when you shoot straight into the light, and this shot was helped by the superb clear, dry light we’ve been having during the cold weather. I shot in colour of course, but I actually love this shot in black and white – there’s something almost 1950’s about the gathering of the people by the rail gazing out to sea, and the contrast really lends itself to black and white.”
Andrew Sooby took his ‘Whale Watching’ photograph on a Nikon DSLR; 24-120mm F.4 zoom at 24mm; 1/800 at f.14; ISO 400. Original in colour.
