Sandwich Marsh

A trip, finally, to Cape Cod for 2020, after Labor Day. We brought our cameras for and had a nice late afternoon walk in September 2020 around the Boardwalk Marsh area, also known as Jarvesville after the constructor of the former glass factory workers homes that form the core of the original community.

i was struggling to remember my shooting modes on the Fuji, must practice more often….but I managed my first legit, intentional bokeh shot. The bokeh shot is the one with the stone portico, the text may hide the light artifact….click on the image to open it without the text…..

A tight shot, semi successful, getting the foreground tightly focussed on the plants and blurring out the background.

Continuing my on and off love of fire hydrants, I think the focus and the color are striking on this one. Using my Fuji X-E3 and my favorite lens X35mmF2.

Could not find my continuous shooting mode trying to shoot all the birds….and then I found my Drive button….which looks dangerous on Fuji since it also has a Trash Can on it! Was able to follow this seagull right into landing, next time, I will use a tripod and a bulb to shoot steady…I made the shots line up with lots of editing in software…..discarded the rest…..

Another foreground focus, this time at the Dock Creek off Dewey Ave.

I have tried to get this stone portico a few times, very hard to capture. My friend Peter finally explained what bokeh was - not the blurring of the background that I thought but the luminous artifacts created by interaction of incoming light with the various elements of the lens. So, I tried real hard to get the light of the low sun to hit the top of my lens and bring the little bokeh flare into focus….and it worked!
