Kingston Harbour: Setting the Fishpot

Posted by Stunner (Kingston, Jamaica) on 6 April 2007 in People & Portrait.

This is the second in the Kingston Harbour series. I saw these fishermen setting their nets, called fishpots by some Jamaicans, and decided to exercise the optical zoom a bit. I hope they get a good catch.

I like the way the telephoto has worked, compressing the foreground to background. How far out in the water were they from the shore?

@Richard_Irwin: Thanks Richard_Irwin. They were not too far out and I was parked on the softsholder on the opposite side of the road.
