wow, fabulous capture. From the texture in the rocks the water coming in and those great clouds to the right. Is it due to sudden big waves or do the fishermen go out on days when it is just too dangerous?

This is another early morning shoot and I think I only played with highlights and saturation here. The fisherman take enormous risks to catch the prized salmon and bass here. The best fish are usually caught on the most rugged outcrops and are very slippery. The tides change very quickly and when the swells come in they catch the novice fisherman by surprise and once the fisherman are in the water they get smashed by repeat sets without mercy and in no time they are gone. Sad but crazy. I buy my fish from the shop which is the safe option.
