KK Fishing Boats (Kota Kinabalu)

Kota Kinabalu, South China Sea, 2 May 2019.

.

After the markets we had some free time and many of the others may have wandered back to the hotel but I wanted to wander along the wharves to check out the fishing boats. I had seen some great looking fishing boats coming and going from the port the previous evening and the light was great then, but I only had my Fuji X100s, which has a wide angle lens, and I needed a telephoto. So I thought I would see what I would find on this day.

There were quite a few fishing boats lined up at the docks.

This is the rear of one at the front, with nets rolled up on spools for deployment and retrieval.

Suddenly the light changed – or maybe that’s just the infrared sensor.

First wildlife sighting, of an egret on the prow of a boat.

    Another awesome! I’m surprised you have time to play with filters.

      It’s not filters. I have a camera with a sensor converted for IR. So no extra time taking the photo. That comes in the post processing which involves complex virtual gymnastics to see what direction I can take the image in.
