Colorful Buoys in Old Village Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took this photo in Rockport, not far away from the scene of Fisherman’s Wharf and Lobster Traps. As mentioned in the notes for that photo, each family / company has a distinct buoy design/color combination to distinct its own placed lobster trap.

Among the beaten up small houses, the lobster trap buoys with different color and design mixes are outstanding by their shapes and bright colors, as shown in this picture.

I have made a different PP version of the same picture in WS

Hi Wes,
I like both versions of this picture. Fine enquadrement of the elements, good colors and sharpness. You handled well the light and luminosity. Well done and well composed.

Best Regards.

Interesting to see the fishermen's huts and the colourful buoys. A close up would be good too.

Hi Wes
The view wasn't very nice but you know how to make the life more nice. I like the colors contrasting with the wood.
Nice composition

Intresting shot Wes. There is a old and used feel to this place. The colorfull boeys add to the composition.

Hi Wes,
Interesting place and a very good workshop. I think I prefer the sepia one, but both have their own good atmosphere.

Bonsoir Wes,
Excellente idée d'avoir présenté deux photographies pour faire ressortir les bouées appartenant à chaque pêcheur.
J'aime ce genre de photographie qui nous apprend sur les us et coutumes des pêcheurs.
Très bon cadrage.
Bravo pour l'atelier.
Amitiés.

Hi Wes,
I like the calm mood here,looks like a shot from another time(except the air condition in the background).Great,how the colors of the buoys stand out against the dark background.
Very well seen and captured,
hermann

Again a nice scene from the New England fishing village, Wes. Enough contextual details to be found in the frame in order to easily identify which is the business that the folks in this area are going about. Good contrasts achieved in what seems to have been slightly unfavorable weather for shooting.

Hi Wes
Do I see the disolving of pixels happened on your photo or is it due to the high aperture used on this shot.
This shot could be quite an interesting one, but somehow there' something amiss.

Hi Wes

A superb daily life shot. I like the colorful buoys, too. Moody & atmospheric. Well done!
