une méthode de pèche traditionnelle qui semble extraordinaire
j'aurais aimé un cadrage plus panoramique pour comprndre le hallage des filets et avec donc moins de ciel
la qualité du WS est excellente

Docunment interessant et instructif John,
je ne connaissais pas ce genre de pratique de la pêche.
Un horizon un rien trop centré à mon avis.

ho john;
fascinating shot, i didn't about horses shrimps fishing, the position in diagonal of the four horses gives a depth , certainly something very rare to see a scene like this one.

Hello John,
A very appealing composition of these fishermen on horseback; quite a novel idea for me. I like how they are strung out diagonally across the frame; makes for a strong composition and compensates for the central placement of the horizon. Colours and clarity are excellent

Hello John,

Etonnante prise de vue qui nous rapelle un technique de pêche ancestrale.
Je ne connaissais pas du tout cette technique. L'aspect documentaire de l'image est très bon.
Bien vu et merci pour le partage.

Een echt prachtig beeld van dit folkloristisch gebeuren. Ik vind het raar dat dit nog niemand eerder op TE heeft gezet. Mooi gedaan; ik vind het wel een beetje jammer dat je je frame hier niet hebt gebruikt. Groetjes!

• pierrefonds (19691)
• [2008-07-16 4:59]

Hi John,

The diagonal line made by the people and the horses are assets to the composition. The capture of the movement of the wave is a complement tpo the composition. The point of view leads our eyes toward the horizon. The presence of the people on horses has an effect of scale. The quality of the light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

looks too authentic to be taken in europe john... i must be a retard, never heard of them... beautiful shot with good light and vvid colours... the horses are well placed in the frame... could have been cut a bit more on top to get rid of that tiny bit of cloud on the left, that looks distracting a little, otherwise a great shot my firend...

all the best...

Hallo John,
Als je deze in oud zwart wit had afgeleverd was het net alsof het 1910 zou zijn. Dit soort werk strookt toch met de werkelijkheid he, zo wordt er toch niet meer gevist om een dagelijks bestaan te vergaren....zal wel een toeristische voorstelling zijn?
In ieder geval een frisse heldere plaat met mooie details.
Groet, Henk

Hi John,
1) I saw those waters and they looked straight away familiar to me... only further southwest from where I live.
2) I do some shrimp-fishing once in a while, on foot. The North Sea shrimps are better than caviar to me! A little whiskey sauce and... yummie!!!
3) Awesome shot, buddy!
4) A BIG HUG from Amsterdam,

Fulvio.

Hoi John, ik had je per ongeluk met jhml verwisseld... daardoor heb ik in het Engels geschreven. Ik dacht al, wat doet hij (die andere John, dus) hier op de Noord Zee, hij zit op het moment toch in de USA?
Ik ben duidelijk aan vacantie toe... he he! Maar goed, mooi shot, echt mooi! Prima belichting, schitterend in mekaar gezet. Chapeaux, vriend.
De hartelijke groeten,

Plus aisé et productif pour ramasser les crevettes que l'épuisette !!! Très belle image sur cette pêche traditionnelle. Les conditions de lumière sont superbes et l'on sent bien le vent dans la photo. J'aime beaucoup la vue rapprochée sur un des pêcheur et sa monture en WS, la qualité de l'image est magnifique. Une belle série, merci John.

Un bel angle de vue pour présenter ces typiques pêcheurs de crevettes d'Oosduinkerke. Ta photo montre bien l'effort que doiventfournir les chevaux pour permettre la pêche dans ces flots. J'apprécie aussi beaucoup la belle couleur de la mer mélée de sable.

Very nice to see that this old tradition has been preserved, and it gives a very surprising view. In addition, the touch of yellow of the oilskins lightens the grey-green sea. A succes well deserved considering the originality of the topic.

All the best,

• [2008-07-20 0:58]

Hi John,
Indeed a perculiar way of fishing, that of using horses. This reminded me of my younger days where we used to fish using drag net similar to this except that we did the pulling of the net ourselves. It is tough work but satisfying when seeing the catch. A nice angle to show the whole activity in progress and I equally enjoyed the close up shot. The rumble of the breaking waves can almost be heard here. Well done and very educational!!

Best wishes and a blessed Sunday.
