Proporscrew

Less intimate than recent shots, and less engaging, maybe, but there are still good 'moments' in each, and the first attracts my attention the most. But the house in the second is intriguing. What is it?
 
The boat house looks as it has taken on a pose for a portrait. These are all good.
Are these dp1 dp2 dp3 bloomin merlins ye keep going on about:) ; if so I must say they produce very nice results.
Now .....you want one .... but you don't need one. The needs win.
 
i like the first a lot, but wish the top and bottom of the propeller wasn't cut off, or it was cropped even tighter. i like the colors, texture and lines in the comp. of that one. also like the last one, some nice b&w tones and i like that you climbed down to get that pov instead of taking the shot from above where the two guys are on the left.

Thanks Rob, the house on the left is known as East quay , where the co-op resides and most of the fish is landed. The Co-op being where there are weighing scales, cold stores, and winches, it is run and funded by the fishermen as well as the harbour, trustees. The blue end with window is a loft, one of a few in the village that can and is used to make nets in the shelter.

Thanks Tom, yes that is what struck me, the pose.

Thanks Beth, it was one of those photos, where the bottom blade was cropped in camera as is. So I cropped slightly above to even it up. I took this one shot with the 28mm . Wish I'd tries a few more angles, when it came on screen. Not to be and boat was gone today. Yes I got down into the harbour with a lot of difficulty, but nice to have a different view point.

Below with the DP2 but did not like this version as much. Too tight I thought. The wide lens helped with the first version.

you're right, the dp2 version lost something in the crop. maybe a 16:9 crop of the first? i like the leading lines to the left and right of the propeller on the bottom of the boat.
 
I really do enjoy these harbour images Julian. The angle you have chosen for the boat leaning against the quay is very effective and I like the way the roof lines reflect each other in the wider shot. I actually like the close crop of the propeller and think you could create a nice composition of the first with a close square crop as well. Having said that, I like the image as is as well. The tones and textures are very nice.

Thanks Pete. Yes I hear what you say good points. I do like the B+W boat , it takes me to all the old photo's from the 19th and early 20th century taken at Mevagissey. Not a lot has changed in those buildings seen and of course this boat's hulls form, is very similar to those boats built on traditional designs.
 
agree with Pete, love the angle you shot the last frame from

He knows what's good for him! Good old-fashioned intimidation. Beats these high tech DSGs any day! ;)

Now being late to this party , this conversation is in the realms of Mornington Crescent for myself, which allows me free rein with my imagination. Not a bad thing, yet I do find myself on Mevagissey harbour, especially when the chips are being eaten , looking at the seagulls with suspicion .

Quite right too. We took one down in Eastborne just to keep him from getting too cocky but now that he's brought out these DAGs there's gonna be trouble. Mark my words! ;)

lol I trust in what you say Pete , I've no alternative, all I can say is I'll keep am eye open for any unusual behaviour from both the seagull population and the locals.
