I went out in boat with my father several times while I was in Canada last summer. He wanted to fish and I wanted to make some photographs. There were no fish in the bay on this morning but there were a few good photo opportunities. I made this picture while my father let his line down and jigged for cod. You can see the little waves made by the boat in the foreground.
On the eastern side of Hall’s Bay is a hill called by my family (and possibly others) The Point. If you take hard right (mind the rocks) you end up in Goodyear’s Cove. If you keep going straight you eventually end up in Springdale. The Point is usually a good place to catch some fish, but it was too early in the season and we returned to West Bottom empty-handed.
It is often hard to get water looking like water . . .this looks like water and also intriguing. The hull of the boat completely makes the picture.

I think without the hull and especially without the oar it would be a dull photo.

I agree with HS – the hull makes it real and brings me into the story.I fished with my grandfather&uncle many moons ago. Even then it was about a lot more than the fish – for me, anyway.

My father complains when there's no fish, but he's happy to be out on the bay.
