Gone Fishin'

[FootLoose]

A few shots of people fishing off the breakwater.

#1.


#2.


#3.


#4. (I often see this couple. She invariably catches more than he does.)


#5. (This guy may look relaxed, but see what is just behind him in the next image)


#6.


#7. This guy has it figured out

I like #4 & #5 because the people are separated from the background and attention is very firmly focused upon them. I think that in #1 and #2, the people are a bit lost in the overall scene.

Interesting set of shots Greg. I think you've captured the relaxed atmosphere rather well. And your timing was spot on with #6.

If I were a fisherman, #7 would be the way to go for me

Hi Greg. I would return to where you shot no.2. Those rocks are interesting. You might find an interesting pattern of fisherman on them.

Thanks for comments guys.

Donald I agree about the first two: I did want to portray the people against the local urban context, but I can see now that it is overwhelming them a bit. With the 4th one, I was watching the 'patterns' that were appearing with the couple's fishing rods.

Dave, that guy in #7 seemed to be just turning his back on the world and doing his own thing. I think that vessel is pedal-powered btw.

Karm: #2 was lucky. I was at the opposite end of the break water when I happened to catch a glimpse of colour between a small gap in the gabions. I poked the lens into it got that shot.
