Fish Boxes Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This stack of fish boxes was on the quay at Ullapool. The fact that they are empty reflect the hard times the fishing industry is seeing in these parts.

My first post with the new toy. Still need to sort the sharpness out, although I think should have used a faster shutter speed or at least steadied myself before pushing the button.

Hi Ben,

That's an interesting shot! Funny that there is so much colour in a profession that I would currently see as quite bleak.

Good luck with oyur new toy! You like it? ;-)

Cheers, Dennis

Hi Ben,

welcome back, you've been sorely missed. Great range of colours in your post, more than we normally associate with the fishing industry and ten different firms on the boxes to boot! A unique shot, well spotted.

Regards

Steve

Hey, have a look at this. Great minds think alike, eh? You are absolutely right, it just needs a bit of sharpening. But it does tell a lovely story of the world of fishermen.
