Crabber's Row, Newlyn, Cornwall
The row of colourful little crabbing boats caught my eye the last time I was down in Cornwall on holiday.
Newlyn is the busiest fishing port in the Westcountry of England and a large number of fishing boats of all sizes can normally be seen in the harbour, these small open crabbing and lobster boats are normally in the inner-harbour of the port with the larger trawlers dominating the outer-harbour.
I will be back there in a week’s time for a holiday and hopefully getting quite a few new images from around the far West of Cornwall

Lovely bright crisp shot Rod. I quite enjoy these marina images of yours – they are all very complimentary to the areas in which you’ve shot them in. You should consider making a book about these quaint little marinas and adding the bits of historical data you often offer beside the images. Would make a nice gift book for anyone who enjoys travel or marina / coastal village imagry. Perhaps a small tourism booklet or the local shops to market? Well done. Cheers, S.
rodsfotos replied
Thank-you so much Sandra, now that sounds like a good idea, I did sell a number of images years ago and they were used in a Cornish souvenir booklet, though my share of the proceeds were relatively small, it was good to see them in print and selling in shops.
If I manage to retire early in a year or so, I will have a lot more time to pursue that avenue, thanks so much for the comment and brilliant idea,
Regards, Rod.

georgieboy98
As usual a very excellent photo that so typifies those quaint Cornish fishing towns and villages. The foreground boats, plus the diagonals provided by both the boats and the harbour wall are terrific features that contribute towards the overall interest of the scene and I am not ashamed to admit to feeling a certain pang of envy that you’ll be in that area again next weekend. Have a great time (as I am sure you will) and I look forward to seeing the resultant photos.
All best wishes
Peter
rodsfotos replied

A beautiful capture Rod, it surely is a pretty sight all these colourful fishing boats in the harbour with in the back the beautiful houses and buildings of this fine looking fishing village. I don’t know why, but It brings me in a holiday mood,...:) Many regards, Henri.

Great image Rod, never stoped im Newlyn it always looks a little drab.
Going down in 3 weeks and will definately pay a visit.
Regards, Graham
rodsfotos replied
Many thanks Graham, it’s well worth a stop and they don’t mind you walking all round the harbour walls, always a lot of boats in the harbour, the little car park on the roadside behind the buildings above the wall in the photo is handy as well,
Regards, Rod.
CarolM
Your shots are always so interesting, Rod and gives us a taste of the region so well. I noticed in the background how the roof tops all in a row all have the same shape kind of like the boats in the harbor have similar shapes. Makes an interesting image.
rodsfotos replied
Thank-you very much Carol, you have a sharp eye to notice the shape of the rooftops in the background, I find all these old fishing villages have so much of interest for the photographer,
Regards, Rod.
Scott d'Almeida
excellent,

Thank-you very much Scott,

maxy
Colorful little boats too! What a lovely harbor – I really like the buildings along the shore – makes for a wonderful and interesting scene! Looks like a great place to go fishing!
rodsfotos replied
Thank-you very much Maxy, Newlyn is a very busy fishing port and this is one of the few parts of the harbour that I felt wasn’t too crowded or busy for a photograph, the buildings immediately behind the boats are all connected to the fishing industry, I’m looking forward to going there again during my holiday next week,
Regards, Rod.
Shaun Whiteman
Another class shot Rod….lovely compsition and colours, the sea is stunning!!
rodsfotos replied
Thanks so much Shaun, I very much enjoy these old Cornish fishing harbours both as a photo subject and also just to visit and soak in the atmosphere,
Regards, Rod.

Nice in-line for some action Rod. Is it a good season for crabbing? I know I’m a bit late. I wish you a good a time and hope you have a nice lobster. Cheers mate.

regardless Rod, you do have a way of portraying a scene so nicely
rodsfotos replied
Thank-you very much Lynda, I didn’t stop at Newlyn last week when I was down there but had a wonderful holiday,
Regards, Rod.
Sandy Stewart
The boats lined up in a diagonal line add a nice perspective of distance as well as drawing the viewer’s eyes along the boats to the houses in the background. The colors are lovely throughout and especially that turquoise water! : )
rodsfotos replied
Thank-you very much Sandy, I was down there again last week but the harbour was jam packed full of fishing boats so it wasn’t worth stopping for a few photographs,
Regards, Rod.
PrairieRose
