Back from Lobster Fishing – for Jerzy Photo

Photographer’s Note

This picture is for Jerzy ( bantonbuju), with a full load of lobsters on board. This picture is also mirroring Léonie’s Irish Lobsters, on the western side of Atlantic Ocean. In the U.S., New England Lobsters are the most famous ones. Or, sometimes, people reference as Maine Lobsters or Boston Lobsters.

The fishing boat was back from collecting lobsters out of lobster traps. The objects floating on the surface of the ocean water are variety shaped and colored buoys for lobster traps.

Quite a strange scale : the boat seems to be so small...
The colors are strange too, with a sky and the sea looking same.
Interesting shot.

Hi Wes,
I should like to see the picture taken a few more degrees to the right so I could see the whole curve of the shore. Maybe it should have given an even more balanced picture than this excellent one.

Hello Wes,
I like lobsters and all of the Sea! Jerzy, you, Leonie and others like too much ;))) Portuguese are also very good ones and the best is a gastronomical receipt of American Lobster. Only rememberings of the lasr one.

Fine composition you did but the lobsters I don't see! I'm jocking and you made a nice work and also comunication and sharing simple things with others.

Very nice work and also good will from you.
Best to you and also to your imagination and creative work.

Hi Wes,
Good compo with nice diagonal lines of the coastline.I like the soft light and the limited range of colors.The fishing boat is an essential detail.
Greetings,

Hi Mr. Wes. The shot reminds me of some of Galmeida's shot from Portugal. Good use of the rocks to setup the foreground. You might try an Auto color in Photoshop. Nicely done Wes!

Hi Wes! I wish I could see the lobsters you're mentioning here, it would really be mouth-watery! Interesting to see lobster traps very near the land. Anyway, this one's a new and different kind of view for me. Good notes to go with your photo! rgds.

Hola Wes.
Interesting sea and sky colors, looks like you got the picture in a cloudy day. But any way the picture is very good. The rocks in the foreground give your picture a good perspective, nice composition.
Well done.

Now are you sure that's a fishing boat; it looks more like a cabin cruiser to me. :o)
I like the triangle of rocks which catch the light well and the slightly unusual tones of the ocean and the sky.
Are these lobster fishing shots going to turn into another windmill war?

Leonie (8627) 2005-09-28 8:55

there we go...:o) so everybody gets their lobsters...lol I really get a watery mouth now...unfair...;oP It's a nice picture, indeed the lobster traps seem more in disorder here...I like the blue greyish colour of sea and sky! Well done... Léonie

Hej Wes,
Well composed shot with the rocks in the bottom right hand corner. I like the colours of the shot, which create some sort of special atmosphere. Good shot.
Hilsner,
Lars

Hi Wes,
The different stones on the foreground give a beautiful colours, nice depth, the gray colours about the sea its what monotonous through it bad weather, the fishers boat is a nice add.
Best regards,
John.

maphoto (8076) 2005-09-28 23:01

Nice composition Wes, the view on the sea is interesting, the diagonal is good as weel as the depth, well balanced, thanks for sharing.

ChrisJ (69430) 2005-09-29 3:53

Hi Wes

Moody & atmospheric. The boat is a good (& essential) addition, for the title. Good work!

sergecross (3438) 2005-09-29 6:23

Wes:
Very nice picture, the sharpness is high and the horizon is not rect but i like this picture because the scene is very fine and the colors too. The focus is correct and the theme is great.
Thanks
Sergio

very ncie take on this boat, I like hte foreground rocks too, really good work, well done

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-09-30 3:27

Having seen Leonies I thought this was organised industrialy, but now think there are great quantities of those over there.
Here in Brittany Lobster is well known too and is a rare animal and tracking is like a hunt in the rocky places near the shores and the Island so the track buoys are not numerous and spread hazarduously in between the Islands and rocks..
Thank you for showing this area and fishing.
