Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken off the coast of Trinidad.

Time

Watching the fishermen come in at sunset is always amazing... they pull their nets, seines as we call them, with the fish in them... people wanting to buy fish on the beach help to pull in the seines which is quite hard work, but usually rewarding!

Lighting

Just a luck shot of fishermen working under a beautiful sunset!

Equipment

I would have just had a simple camera... this was shot with a 35mm film camera... a Canon Powershot S70

Inspiration

This is a very common but beautiful scene on my island... these fishermen have to be admired, going to sea from night to day without any kind of safety equipment and putting their life at risk to feed themselves, their families and their customers...

Editing

Tweaking of colours and a little sharpening... straightening the horizon a bit...

In my camera bag

Camera, tripod and spare batteries, also with the film camera spare rolls of film

Feedback

Go out and find a sunset!
