Cemaes Bay Lifeboat, a photo from Isle of Anglesey, Wales

Photographer's Note

This is a second shot of Cemaes Bay, focusing on the life boat in the harbour. This is a restored lifeboat as opposed to a working lifeboat and first saw service 102 years ago before being "retired" in 1930. It was restored in 2007. For more information:

Hello Michael,
a well balanced composition. I like the light here. It is as is the sky has placed a lid on the scene.

Hi Mike
lets talk about perspective for a bit shall we...
isn't it interesting how the lifeboat looks larger than the houses in the bg!
that lifeboat looks absolutely huge!!
it dwarfs every other subject in the shot.
not sure how you go the atmosphere to turn out this way, but i do know that it adds some pizzaz to it and I like it.
cheers

Hello Michael,

I like this the best of the shots that you have posted from Anglesey. I like the close details of the boats, the tranquility of the moment, as the boats nestle in the harbour, the houses protectively surrounding the scene and that 'last light of the day' atmosphere. It very much reminds me of the impression I had of LLareggub ... well it was Welsh!

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hi Mike,
Very beautiful atmosphere in the small port. I like the sky, it provides some interesting shadows and contrasts. Well seen, have a fine evening.

There's a nice flow in the image toward the right, with the boats pointed in that direction and the clouds seeming to float toward it... adds a sense of motion to an otherwise still shot. Add in the wonderful lighting, bright colors, and the gorgeous subject of a boat and you've got a very nice shot here!

Hi Michael
Brilliant composition with wide angle lens emphasising the main subject - the boats. Stormy sky adds drama.
Best wishes
