Cape Cod Girls Have No Combs

A recent trip to the mainland found me at the Cape Cod National Seashore, ending up at the Red Nun Bar and Grill to play a little music with friends, and far be it for me to go anywhere without turning it into a multi-media event. Chit-chat, scenery, photos, and savage Irish music all contained within.

All's Well That Ends Well

 

I don't know much, but I do know this: What can go wrong will go wrong - guaranteed - and it's always something. I can’t believe I did this. A perfect day in my favorite place in my favorite kind of weather should have resulted in my best video yet, but somehow I managed to lose half my files along the way. Nevertheless, it was a great day, and I guess half a vlog is better than no vlog. Besides, the photographs are the main event, and I’m happy with them. As always - it’s a little chit-chat, some scenery, and a few photos at the end. The images you see here, and many more, may be seen and/or purchased in my gallery in Edgartown. Stop by for prints, cards, books, calendars, as well as the odd story, song, or fiddle tune. Contact me (via comments) for hours and directions. My 2022 calendar, "Sara's Vineyard," is in and is available by mail order or for local pick-up from my gallery.

Out and About and Testing New Stuff

 

Continuing my photo-blogging adventures, today I stayed close to home and took a walk over to Eel Pond while testing my new G7X Mk III, purchased for the mic jack. Why have only one G7 when you can have two? (The Mk II I will keep to use with the underwater housing set-up) 

Glad to report that my simple set-up (G7, Joby GorillaPod, and Rode Wireless Go) worked well. Typically, for vlogging adventures, I am carrying a heavy backpack with two mirrorless bodies and a few lenses and a couple of tripods, so this was a treat. The audio was fine (though I think the wind-screen may have cut out some of the ambient noises I wanted), but I was caught short by some focusing problems (why have anything come out perfectly with no technical issues - that would be boring) which were mostly my fault for not being more diligent about setting the focus point more accurately. 

These vlogs are not meant to be tutorials (plenty of that stuff out there by people who know a ton more than I do), or trail guides, or gear talk, necessarily. These are mostly the wanderings of an end-of-life-Boomer amusing myself while learning new things; a multi-media version of my daily written diary: "A little chit-chat, some scenery, and hopefully a few photos at the end to show for my effort." The photography is the thing, really, and if anyone is entertained by my offerings, all the better; if not, that's fine, too.
