Lobster Pots and old fashioned ropes

[Dave (Isle of Skye)]

I think we all have a shot of these types of lobster pots or creels don't we, but I have never seen them with their anchor ropes still attached like this out of the sea.

Don't know why, but when I first saw this shot (see below under the linked shot of Isambard) and the reason why I took it, was because it sort of reminded me of this particular historical image -

Very nice. On the technical side, I don't know if it's just in jpeg, but on the bottom ropes there is maybe a little too much texture/noise?

Thanks Armand.

I just did a Google search of what natural ropes are made of - "Natural ropes are made from fibres including cotton, manila, jute, sisal, and hemp fibre blends, whereas synthetic rope fibres include polypropylene, polyester, nylon and polyethylene."

So I think that maybe the texture (noise?) that you are seeing, could in fact be due to the rope being made of naturally hairy fibres (which is what I found to be so unusual these days) - but yes it could also be noise I suppose that was introduced into the file PS compresses into such a small jpg
