Life of fishermen at marina beach
As I had gone early to catch the sunrise, I was lucky enough
to watch the fisherman who where preparing themselves to leave from marina
beach for fishing .usually they leave early morning
it seems like these
fishermen didn’t venture deep as I could see them coming back in 2 hours time.
They where a group of four fishermen with a motorized boat, the motor is
removed easily and will be fixed on to the boat during the next trip. I could
see a experienced person and others who are all well built.
This fish catch is sold immediately .nochikuppam is a famous
area near to madras light house where
you can get fresh catch
With
so much experience they could easily
tell whether the sea is rough or calm. They
are not equipped with gps and other equipments . its only there fishing nets
and some stuffs of utter importance .
Life of a fishermen is always unpredictable ,it can some
times be a joy day with a big catch which they can sell and make money on the other
hand it could be stress full with no catch as expected or not
able to go to fishing due to bad weather
They do literally use the beach to fix there nets and motors
BEST TIME TO VISIT MARINA BEACH IS EARLY MORNING TO CATCH THE SUNRISE,GOLDENHOURS NOT ONLY CRITICAL FOR DOCTORS TO SAVE PATIENTS BUT ALSO FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS TO TAKE SOME BEAUTIFUL PICTURES
HAVING THE SUNRISE IN BACKGROUND AND THE BIRDS IN FOREGROUND

PIGEONS , offer a wonderful opportunity to shoot with some stunning shots,
Feeding of
pigeons is a daily activity , feeding is neatly laid in the shape of a badminton court and pigeons comes from nowhere to have it, this exercise looks systematic as the birds
follows the order . they feed more than 100 kg of grains to the birds
