Stories: THE LONG NIGHTS ON THE MARMARA SEA: LongNights-photoLukaDakskobler-013

The fishermen pull the net from the Sea of Marmara off the coast of Istanbul on June 22, 2010. At night, the boat lights up. Small car light bulbs are used because they emit a lot of light and do not take up much space. A floating buoy with a light beacon is fastened to the end of the net so that they can see it in the dark. Strong reflector lights directed into the surface of the water help guide the fish in.
