Break in the Heat


Photo-A-Day #3030

There was a break in the uncomfortable heat and humidity. Unfortunately, that came with wind and rain. Fortunately, we were down the Cape and had the chance to go over to Woods Hole and check out the Scientific Aquarium. It is a nice little aquarium with harbor seals out front and many tanks within. The tanks contain species of fish from New England. Eva was so excited to be at the aquarium. She showed us all around the place and then showed us the touch pool upstairs. Starfish and Sea Stars are some of her favorite ocean animals. Continue reading Break in the Heat →

Photo-A-Day #1613

This morning Dad and I got up early and took Taylor with us to Woods Hole. We first went to Nobska Light So I could try out my new photography toy. The Panamatic from Lenspen. You attach your camera to the device and the device to your tripod. It has click stops at every 30 degrees so that you can create seamless panoramic shots. I tried my first one from the truck bed but that didn’t work so I moved out a ways from the light house and was able to get a pretty nice 360 shot of the lighthouse, the water and the plant life. Here is how that one came out.

Then we went down into Woods Hole and picked up some breakfast stuff from Pie in the Sky.

Pie In The Sky

While I was there I logged on to the free Internet, pulled up BenSpark.com and bookmarked it and left it up for the next customer to see. Who knows maybe someone there might like my work and my Cape Cod Photos.

After Pie in the Sky we went up the street over to the MBL Marine Biological Laboratory buildings and into the inner Woods Hole Harbor. I set up my Tripod again and took a nice 360 of that harbor which also caught shots of the Woods Hole Science School (We attended as kids and Tara taught there last summer). Here is that Shot.

After that I walked up the street while Dad pulled the truck around. I went to MBL Beach and took a 180 shot of that area. Here is that one.

Then we headed home and along Surf Drive Beach we stopped so I could take a photo of the Cairn that was set up along the Falmouth Road Race Route. I snapped this one too.

We got home and had breakfast. Allison headed off Cape 1st and I followed with Eva. Having 2 cars after the long weekend stinks. Having them before the long weekend so we could get down on our own timetables wasn’t as bad.

Before we left Eva played on her tricycle from the Miners. They left a bunch of kids toys behind for Eva. Their grandchildren have grown out of the toys so the Miners cleared out some space in the house and garage. We inherited two tricycles and a bunch of tiny chairs and baby swings. Not sure what Eva will do with those. Eva played with Memere and Grandfather before she left for home.

Enjoying my Tricycle

I’m off to England tomorrow and I have to relearn how to get online and do my demonstration. Oh boy it is going to be a long night.

By The Way I did the panorama stitching in Photoshop Elements. There is an automatic function for it that works pretty well. I learned about it from this website. Here is how you buy the Panamatic from Lenspen.
