Greetings the from the Cape!

Cape Cod has always been one of my favourite places to photograph.  The soft pastel colours of late afternoon sun, the golden dunes, the seagrass gently blowing in the breeze and the miles upon miles of empty beaches - such is life on the Cape.

Hope all is well in your corner of the world.

Cheers,

Postcards from Nauset, Cape Cod

Gentle surf - f/22  2 sec. exposure

Moon light over the water - f/22  18 to 30 sec. exp.

Greetings from Nauset Beach, Cape Cod.

One of my favorite places on Earth is Nauset Beach located in Orleans, Cape Cod.  Its ultra-fine sand, the gentle surf and the most incredible evening light have always captivated my soul ever since my childhood days when visiting the Cape with my folks.  Very little has changed since then.

I could easily spend the entire summer on the Cape capturing its beauty and its countless moods on film.

Speaking of which, I guess I should slowly make my way back to the beach.

Cheers, enjoy your day!

Cape Cod at Dusk

A quick hello from the beaches of Cape Cod!

Last night I had an opportunity to photograph the outgoing tide a few minutes after sunset.  I was hoping to capture a few shots illustrating the colours, patterns and movement of the gentle waves lapping onshore.  The camera, with 300mm attached, was mounted on a tripod.  The f/stop was set at f/22 with an exposure ranging from 1 to 2 seconds.  A cable release was also used to minimize disturbance to the camera.  Above are a few of my favorites.

Now, once the rain stops, it's time to capture the dunes, beaches and ocean bathed in sunlight.

Hope all is well in your corner of the world

Cheers,
