The Old Trawler

With the sun remaining pretty low throughout the winter months, you can pretty much shoot at any time of the day as the light will usually appear warm and not overly harsh. This image captured with an old Praktica BX20 film camera shows the warmth of the low sun as it hits the side of a fishing trawler not long after returning from its latest voyage out into the North Sea. The warm low light hitting the side of the boat highlights the detail of wear and decay, bouncing off the window frames and turning the cabin a fiery orange. The paint peeling from the cabin and roof, a stark reminder of the harsh conditions both man and trawler must face each and every time they travel into the bitter and sometimes wild North Sea.
