About the Image(s)

This image was taken on 19th May 2024, When I was flying over the Jamuna river. I found two sets of fisherman fishing together in a very unique way. One set from the river bank and the other set from the boat. This site gave me a unique perception, that I could not resist but to capture that moment.

So I used my Samsung S 23 Ultra mobile camera and captured a few shots of the scene. While capturing the action below F stop was f/2.4, with ISO 50 and no flash compulsory setting. Loved the action by those fishermen on scene.

This camera is very effective to use in rugged terrain. After the image is created it was post processed by Photoshop CS6 with some cropping & light adjustment to present as it was.

I hope you enjoy the image and any feedback is welcome.

Well Caught Kamal, very interesting to see the two distinct groups.

The clarity of the water and visibility of the nets under the water adds to the interest. You have captured the clarity and detail well. The composition of the boat acting as a leading line the two aligned groups works well for this image. Expertly captured and presented.   Posted: 07/10/2024 01:15:10

Hi Tom,
Greetings my friend.
My apologies for the delay reply. From 18th onward Bangladesh went in a chaos and all communication network and internet was shut down.
I am travelling in between to Indonesia for 2nd PSA PG 2024. That's why I can post here. In the country also they are giving restricted internet. Hope things will improve further. Thank you for your kind comments on the image. It remains the inspiration for me.
Kindest regards.
Kamal.
Thake care and Godspeed.

Hi Kamal. This is perfect. The composition, focus, exposure and interesting subject matter all pull together to create a wonderful image with a great story. I think you are assembling quite a collection of images showing the fishing techniques in your part of the world. The collection would make a great article for a magazine!   Posted: 07/15/2024 18:16:20

Hi Kamal - This is a lovely capture. I particularly like that the nets pull my eye into the scene angling up from left to right. You've caught the water at it's most transparent which allows for better visibility of the nets. I agree with the technical comments identified by others. Thanks for sharing.   Posted: 07/21/2024 01:43:32

Hi Greg,
Greetings my friend.
It was a chaotic situation in our country with internet communication and political situation.
Due to this reason, I am making my last minute response.
I always receive kind words about my submission from you and it gives me an immense pleasure.
Thank you and stay safe.
Cheers.

Hi Kamal,

I always enjoy the glimpses you provide into the lives of your hard-working countrymen. This is a stunning shot!

My only (picky!) suggestion might be to darken that light sand in the upper left corner. It does draw the eye away from the action just a bit.

Well captured and edited! Thanks for sharing.
