Of boats and masts

As you may have notice while exploring my blog that seaside landscapes are something I like to photograph. I've always lived not far from a sea and an attachment for its winds and smells formed over the years. 

In this articles, I'll publish photos of Whitstable on the Kentish coast in England.

Whitstable fishing harbour

I like this shot of the Whitstable harbour. I digitally altered to tone down the garish colours of the fishing nets and boats. The shot is balanced between the two boats on the left hand side and the fishing nets on the right. The eyes wander from left to right and may pause on the seagull which flies over the scene.

These two shots are part of a series I could call The masts. I find the photos dynamic and the alignment of the masts are visually interesting. Yet again, the overcast sky gives a depth to the photos.
