The Fishermen Return Home


FINALLY a real photograph!  Well at least I turned around!  I was driving through Cold Spring Harbor and saw the color of the sky reflected in the waters of the harbor.  I also saw some boats silhouetted against the light as I drove past.  So I did turn around!  When I found this spot for my composition I liked the moored fishing boat on the left, and then suddenly I saw three men standing on the dock in the right center of the image.  They I realized they were fishermen unloading their boat.  When I saw the "V" shaped wake to the left of another boat coming in to dock and THEN another boat and wake to the right, I started shooting more quidkly.  So I stood and watched and clicked the shutter even after this photograph, because you never know what might happen next, but this photograph was the "keeper!"  I did post a larger than normal image so if you click on it, you can see a much larger version!

  2. I am surprised to see the wake from the two boats so close to the dock and shore, but it makes for a lovely photo with the beautiful sunset.

  3. The word "sepia" immediately came to mind when I clicked on today's captivating waterfront scene. For me, the photo conveys both stillness and motion with an interesting antique photographic quality. Nicely done! Primo
