lobster buoys

What photographer in their right mind could walk past this wall of lobster buoys and not fire off a bunch of photos?  Well I sure didn’t have that will power.  It is really neat because you are first drawn in by the color but, it isn’t saturated color it is quite faded, like a muted rainbow.  Then you realize you are really looking at a wall of amazing textures, one that is perfect for a mid afternoon shot.  One of the rare times this is a good idea for photography.  Finally it hits you that there are few things more synonymous with the New England coast then the lobster trade and you can bet the fishermen that marked their traps with these buoys are just as weathered.
