A Return to the Scene.
Last year Nikhil and I were unfortunate enough to be robbed, I did a post on it back then, although we were quite traumatised and our families admonished us to stop walking “all about the place” taking photographs, we haven’t stopped, and in that year we’ve made many more friends in the photographic circle in Guyana. Thanks to Fidal and his idea of a Group on Facebook, we have been fortunate to meet other local photographers of varying expertise and different visions, just seeing what they’ve been doing has emboldened us to see a brighter future for photography in Guyana.
As a symbolic gesture we returned to the scene of the crime, this time, with more caution, and I was armed with a monopod! 🙂
The afternoon was not ideal for me, but I decided to try an HDR looking towards the spot where we were attacked and robbed.

Gosh, you took a photo of the very spot? I didn’t even notice when you did this one. Bravery? Or stubbornness? 🙂
I actually did two sets for HDR, but liked this composition better 🙂 Bravery? I don’t know. Stubbornness? probably, But most Guyanese would probably just say we “stupidee” 🙂
Mike I am lost for words! Such familiar places and sites but yet they have been transformed by the your photography magic! I saw your FB page but by accident I stumble on to your blog. There is definitely something going on here…I don’t know what it is yet but I will continue to enjoy. All I can say right now is that I am honoured to witness history in the making 🙂
Thanks Michael, not sure what history you’re talking about, but if you follow my blog (and perchance jump over the to the Gallery) and check out Nikhil’s photo site as well, you’ll see lots of Guyana! 🙂
Really nice picture (didn’t expect any less) and I’m happy Fidal got the group going also – I learn so much from you all all the time and am just happy to have “crazy-OCD about photography-like” friends 😀
Thanks TJ, where the group is concerned, I think everyone is learning something 🙂
Great photo Professor! But what in heavens name got into you too to go back?! Oh yes, the love for photography! 🙂
Quite right Savita, the love for Photography 🙂
I like this shot mike, I just think the shed takes a bit away from the overall scene
Thanks Andrew, I considered composing without the round-house, but the RoundHouse is such an integral part of that scene I just couldn’t do it 🙂
