After taking the usual long shots to document the latest condition of the trawlers, I decided to fit the 50mm f1.4 to the Nikon D700 and set about getting some shallow depth of field detail shots. With the tide on the turn I had to work quickly to get shots of the rear of the boats but the rust, flak...
