[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One of the greatest experiences this summer was the invitation to go fishing with captain Christos. A great local guy, a retired captain of the Greek merchant navy and a most generous person.
The method he uses is called "tsapari". No bait used, just white feathers attached to the hooks. It sounds funny, but the particular fish are really tricked into swallowing it, probably thinking it's an unknown delicacy!!! There were about eight hooks and here you can see a fish on each one of them. The foto was taken at about 6 am and you can see the rising sun in those glorious colors.

Now you know what we did that same evening.... accompanied by plenty of local wine from his vine yard....

I wish I could stay a bit longer, as his stories from 40 yrs at sea are plenty to enjoy long evenings.

Have a great day

The mood of summer... a beautiful composition, Argiris, terrific mood in this shot. I like the way you frame it with a protagonist on either side: Captain Christos and the sun. The colours in the sky are very beautiful, the reflection awesome.
Very well done!

Hi Argiris

A nice double catch: both of the successful fisherman at right & the setting sun at left. Well seen, with superb colour & sharpness, & good pp work. Tfs!

hello Argiris

The best of life is to enjoy the fun of your dream and your holiday at sea must be part of it. Fishing and its joy is very well shown in this capture and even better at sunset. Very beautiful way to end a day, wasn't it, with fish dinner and wine?

tfs, bill

Hello Argiris



Beautiful look of the fisherman
the day this wonderful one, so much in the
presentation as in the fishery.
Both had a wonderful day.
The sun with your show, and the fisherman with your net
full of fish.
Congratulations, excellent presentation!
