Dereliction, a photo from Etoloakarnania, Central Greece

Photographer's Note

A small pier in the tiny port of Tourlida (Aitoloakarnania, Greece). Several nets are thrown on the pier in a disorderly fashion, certainly needing someone to take care of them, tidy up and, perhaps, mend them. In all cases, after fishing the nets need to be cleaned of everything (fish remnants, pieces of vegetation or even seabed) and arranged in an orderly fashion so that they are ready to be taken on the boat and, when on the fishing ground to be set with ease.

About the photo: Somehow here I tried to focus on the nets make them a "large" part of the photo, keeping however the perspective of the pier and keeping a "bit" of the lagoon in the frame. I liked the colours of the nets and floats contrasting to the dullness of the pier and the monochromatic pattern of the water.

Bonsoir, cher Vangelis,
Des images toujours trиs bien rйalisйes avec un sujet intйressant et mis en valeur.
Cette composition ne fait pas exception.
Je ne sais jamais comment les marins arrivent а rйussir le tour de force de reconstituer un filet sans s'emmкler.
Trиs bonne soirйe.
Amitiйs.
Philippe

Καλησπέρα Βαγγέλη,
με συγχωρείς για την καθυστέρηση με την οποία σου γράφω, οφείλεται σε προβλήματα του υπολογιστή μου που τώρα ευτυχώς διορθώθηκαν.
Η φωτογραφία σου είναι πολύ ωραία και ενδιαφέρουσα. Ο τρόπος με τον οποίο την έχεις καδράρει δίνει μεγαλύτερη δύναμη στη σύνθεση και καθοδηγεί το βλέμμα του θεατή στην παρατήρηση των χαρακτηριστικών στοιχείων και υφών του μουράγιου. Μου αρέσει η διαχείριση του φωτός και των χρωμάτων και οι αντανακλάσεις που δίνουν μιαν άλλη πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα εκδοχή. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καλό Σαββατοκύριακο,
Ουρανία

Hello Again,

I see I missed a few of your recent shots. This is good showing the daily element of the harbor with fishing net on the old wooden pier. I like the focus on the net and only use part of the pier to give perspective. Good detials and natural and down to earth quality.

Way
