Fisherman's boat beside the river














This image was taken in Staiths i really love the composition of this image. for me its divided into 3 layers, the first being the slate and the boat the second being the bridge and the third being the houses in the background. This image would of been brilliant had it not been for the weather. The weather forecast for that day was suppose to be sunny with the slight bit of clouds. Anyway when we got to Staiths the sky was dark gray no sun in sight, so all the images taken that day came out looking really cold which wasn't the feel i was wanting i wanted a warm friendly feel.I tried to warm this image up in photoshop which did work but then i thought i would try a bit of desaturation.I made the colors bleak but just enough to see the oranges, red and blue within the buildings and the houses and boat. I then went on to add a lens vignette. After comparing and contrasting and asking people opinions we decided that this image was the best image.I think i made the right choice. Although its bleak it gives a sense of history, which Staiths was a fishing village i think this is portrayed well within this image.
