fishermen

Up by the lighthouse on the beach at Burnham on sea I came across these guys fishing in the Bristol channel. It was absolutely freezing and pretty bleak, the first guy wasn't using a tripod so was just stood there waiting for a knock. They had a gas lamp with them so god knows how long they were staying out for, good on em.
The pile of sand in the foreground is from where these guys had been digging for bait, lugworm I guess. Its either that or where some poor bugger has sunk into the killer quick sand that seem to be all over this beach, I nearly lost my boots at one point.
New years day was pretty bleak and there was so little colour in the image that it was definitely one to be converted into black and white. I like the result, it conveys the mood of the day.
A good recent discovery is that the guy who presents many of the fishing programmes on discovery is also a photo journalist. His name is Henry Gilbey, check out Henrys site.
