NOWT TO POST

[Julian de'Courcy]

Haven't felt as if I've had anything to post but, I did take an hours on the quay side the other day and shot away in hope rather than coming across anything that looked interesting. Often the case at the moment it seems.
Put together a small set of that hour, from the typical trail from the parked car to the fish co-op.

SPDS - Seasonal Photo Deficit Syndrome. There's a lot of it about at the moment, Julian. But you've still managed to get a few interesting shots. That last one is not for the squeamish! Yuk. Fine foto, though.

Thanks Rob. You may well be aware I don't do the festive holiday at all. I am a tinsel and baubles free zone and a happier person for it. So a boat a net and a box of fish has to do.

Wish I knew something about knots. That image with the knot on the pole is really nice.

If cropped to remove the in focus bits, that first one could be an impressionist painting.

Nice set, Julian.

A clove hitch with half hitch Brian. The clove hitch is two half hitches, this has a little extra including the extra half hitch which is usual for mooring a punt. Basically as it is pulled from the punt it gets tighter.
Good idea though a few pics of good knots and splices.

Thank you Brian.

You're a right old Francis Drake, Julian! (Although I think he was a Devon man.) I think its wonderful to know those things about knots. Thanks for the info.

LOL I think Drake got the likes of me to tie knots for him. Yes he was born in Tavistock , across the BORDER

I like them all and I do not rank them but the first and the second have my thumbs up, the rest reminds me a bit about Christmas, mostly chaos sorry rather hectic I'd say.

Well, for someone without much to post, you have come up with a superb set. I love the framing and selective focus of the first two Julian.

 

[Steve Boykin]

Love the second one. Fantastic composition.

 

[Paul Lange]

The second is really wonderful but I like the last too. It reminds me of some classical and more modern paintings where fairly macabre objects and shown in way that is at odds almost sensual.

Thanks Paul. I hear what you say and the last is definitely an image that has been replicated throughout time and most probably for the reasons you mention. Damien Hirst being the closest in our time who at every opportunity takes what has been done in this genre and re-invents it, sadly without any substantial signature of his own soul leaving the works very sterile in my view, but maybe that is one of the biggest statements of any of the art's from the 1980's, with the primary objective to make money.

#2, and the whole knot theme idea - genius!
