Cat Fish Blues

Scott Ruhs

Cat Fish Blues

This was taken on a very foggy day at Long Cove near West Pennant, Nova Scotia, Canada.

It was named “Cat Fish Blues” because it looks like the boat had jumped out of the water, and because of the feeling of sadness or loneliness it invoked in me.

The image was originally shot in color, but due to the thick fog the color was quite muted, so I converted it to black and white using Photoshop, and then added a bit of texture via filters to give it a more vintage feel.

This is available as any of the available product from Red Bubble and would be suitable as a framed print.

Buying this print as a gift? Why not get a matching card to go with it?

    It is a rather sad looking image, ship wreaked and left out to dry. Love the feeling of age. Well done
