Day was brightly sunny but 20 F with 20 knots of breeze. I damn near froze to death every time I got out of the car. Nice day for photography though. They were all taken with a 15mm Heliar on my M3 and, remembering Ted's dictum to get low as much as possible with this lens, deep knee bends were the order of the day. Only a few other people were out so making the shots people-free was relatively easy. I wanted to get a barren, isolated look. No way to do that in season. Marconi Station (Wellfleet) - Guglielmo Marconi's transmitting station is nothing but rubble now, erosion of the beach dunes did it in, but there is a nice memorial to the first transatlantic radio transmissions right at the edge of the dunes. http://gallery.leica-users.org/CAPE_COD/4_00A_0136_web http://gallery.leica-users.org/CAPE_COD/4_09A_0145_web http://gallery.leica-users.org/CAPE_COD/4_05A_0141_web Further out on the Cape, near Provincetown and Race Point, is Herring Cove Beach. http://gallery.leica-users.org/CAPE_COD/5_25A_0197_bw_web This one works well in color, too, I think. http://gallery.leica-users.org/CAPE_COD/5_25A_0197_web I shot 5 rolls on this trip, so more to come as I find the time to get them ready for posting. I think my hit rate with the 15mm lens is starting to go up. Comments welcome as always. Thanks. -- Regards, Dick
