yellow fin thuna, batticaloa

before the winter monsoon rains start, the usual catch for the outrigger boats is small. bigger boats with outboard motors then are the only ones that bring home what they catch by long lines.

even then the catch is small. only 5 small thunas for one early morning of fishing is barely sufficient, given that you have to pay the high fuel price also.

the images were converted in bibble - on the laptop this is a good choice because of the more effective cpu usage than with lightzone - and slightly desaturated to work out the silver color of the fish.
