Terrific composition Astrid.
Love the overall look of this shot.
Picturit: Thanks Aussie, it is always a nice sight to see the boats lined up in the weekend...the fishermen do all kind of repairs during the weekends and than at midnight Sunday they leave the harbour to go to see.
Astrid.
Wonderfully composed, young lady. It is a bit of magic.
Picturit: Michael, thanks you so much for you double compliment...you made my day
Astrid.
I like it I am glad to see the third one is yours.
Picturit: Yes, I made it mine, all mine...
Astrid.
Wonderful image, Astrid.
Do these sips go to sea, or are they part of the fishermen's protest about the high cost of fuel? If I was you, I might think about converting the "Astrid2008" to sail, as it seems oil-based fuel is not going to get cheaper any time soon.
Picturit: I already ordered a large mast and big sails to sail the world with this one.
These ships are always in the harbour on the weekends, men do repairs to the ships to make sure that they are ready to 'sail' just after midnight on the Sunday, in Holland they do not strike yet about the fuel prices.....I just found out that our price is DOUBLE the price of the prices of fuel in Cananda and the USA... Astrid
A good geometric shot! B/W is perfect for this.
Picturit: Thank you Martin for your kind words, I choose B/W for the ships were not that good and bright in colours.
Astrid
If anyone would be in the lineup, Astrid, it's YOU! I love the POV and perspective...and the B&W!
Monday is here, all day long!
Picturit: Yep another week to start...times flies, meer dan je weet
Thanks for your kind words, DK Astrid
Goedemorgen Astrid 2008 and what a cracking photograph for a montag morgen. Very nice and is that your name on boat numero tois?
Picturit: A oui ce c'est mon name on that derde boot uit de kant.....bedankt for your lieve woorden as you always say so many nice things und immer am Montags, das macht mir sehr FROH,
ein guten Tag to you... tot ziens Astrid
A superb photograph, which works so well in B&W.
Lovely composition
Picturit: Thank you Paul, these boat are always fascinating to capture.
I always have to be at the harbour when I am at Texel. Astrid.
a wonderful graphic pic- full of exspectations and - may be- adventures! Eeen goede week toegewenst van Philine
Picturit: Philine dank je wel, de week is alweer goed begonnen, een zonnige dag, dus geen negatief woord van mij, dank je wel voor je lieve woorden en jij ook een heel goede week!
Groeten Astrid.
Cool photo, nice composition!
Picturit: Thanks Robbie, I walked passed them and saw what I wanted.
Astrid
I thought it was the start of a race
Picturit: Now that you mention it, yes it looks like a race, but is being a fisherman not a race itself????
Astrid.
Geen werk voor mij tot en met vrijdag
This is very good Astrid. Enjoy your koffie!
Picturit: Dan ben jij een zeer gelukkig mens deze week
Thank you so much for your kind words and yes the koffie was erg lekker. Astrid.
Love the angle you have taken this from Astrid
Nice idea B&W, it works very well. Monday already where did the weekend go too??
Picturit: Which weekend???? did you see it anywhere...I was standing on the board walk...thank you for your kind words as ever, I do hope you P&S today on your walk....
Astrid.
Nice graphic feel to this shot Astrid. Sail is the way to go in the future, no fuel costs then ;o)
Picturit: You are so right about the fuel cost and we can sail the world, thanks for your kind words, thanks for visiting!
Astrid
Wonderful composition Astrid. Quite a fascinating image! I love it.
Picturit: Thank you Richard, I think by now everybody knows I love boats and my fascination of sea, I am pleased you like it.
Astrid.
Wonderful.I like B&w.
Picturit: Thank you for your kind words, Awanderer, I like your blog.
Astrid
A very nice repetition of shapes.
Picturit: Thank you Wim, those boats are so fascinating, always are
Astrid
Nice perspective..and love how you did this in black and white.
Picturit: Thanks Marcie, the coloured version was not too nice I thought.
Astrid.
great capture. love the composition and pattern here. very creative perspective.
Picturit: Thank you David, I was walking by and I noticed these shapes...never hesitated.
Thank you for your kind words. Astrid.
A very nice line up here Astrid - and welcome back to the world of picture taking!
Picturit: AAAAWW Thank you so much for your kind welcome back.....I must say I have missed it..but I explained...too little time..I will try to continue though.
Astrid
nice perspective and well composed. They'er ready to go or just arrived?
Picturit: They are ready to go, they have to wait until Sunday after midnight...no working on the Sundays for the fishermen.
Astrid
thats a truly fabulous image Astrid, picture postcard stuff for sure and i would like to see the colour version, well done and have a goodnight
Picturit: Tim, I will get the colour version for you...if you just have some time for me to look for it....
Thanks for the good night wishes....we are glued to the tube.... Astrid
I like the near-symmetry of the boats here but also enjoying their subtle difference. I can just smell the tang of the sea air.
Picturit: To be near those boats is always a real treat, I am always watching what they are doing when the fishermen have to repair things, thank you for your kind words.
Astrid.
Good composition and B&W work Astrid. How about a bit of selective colour on just one of these boats just as Bill would do.
Picturit: I might give it a try some times, I will remember it, thank you for your kind words.
Astrid.
One question : why waiting for monday ?
J'adore cet alignement, Astrid. Very good shot.
Picturit: In Holland the big fisherboats are at sea from Monday until the Friday, in the weekend they do all kinds of repairs to the boat...and than they are ready to go out at sea...so they wait until Monday....mostly they leave the harbour just after midnight.
Thank you so much for your always kind words. Astrid.
Those bows are imposing, and I appreciate how they are balanced with that sweet, soft cloud. Knowing you, you placed it all very intentionally. Perfect as always.
Picturit: Ruth, thank you so much for your ever kind compliments, coming from you it does mean a lot to me, thank you. I always love to walk around in that harbour, intrigued by the smell, the power, the hard work, it is a life we don't know much about.
Astrid.
Superb composition, wonderful in B/W It just come together so well. Well done.
Picturit: Thank you for your kind words, these are nice objects to capture.
Astrid.
well spotted, Astrid. Good shott and like someone said: the b&w worked great here.
Heel goed!
Picturit: Dank je wel, thanks for your kind words and for visiting.
Astri.
Excellent composition. The B&W is also a good choice. The name on the one boat seems familiar
Picturit: It does, doesn't it, I am about to sail the Noordzee....thank you for your kind words.
Astrid.
I've just noticed the name on the boat
Picturit:
Astrid.
prachtige foto, goede compositie, mooi in zwart-wit
Picturit: Dank je wel, ze lagen te wachten tot ze weer de zee op mochten
AStrid.
Well done! Good composition!
Picturit: Thanks José, thank you for your kind words.
Astrid
hi astrid, superb photo. brilliant composition & POV. love the way u put ur name there. cheers
Picturit: Thank Mandau, putting my signature all over the place is kind of my trademark, sometimes when I am able to 'hide' I will do so, thank you for your kind words.
Astrid. |
