Lobster pots

Lobster pots, originally uploaded by Cap'n Maj Bloodnok.

Seen in Port Isaac, Cornwall.

I like photographing textures: take the subject away from the image and just leave detail. Like here, I wanted to display the texture of the string and cracked plastic, rather than just produce a picture of lobster pots. I'll often process "texture" pictures as black and white, but the little splashes of red and cyan persuaded me to keep it in colour.
