Scusset Beach jetty
Sandwich, Massachusetts
There was nothing going on in the sky on this windy and chilly Sunday afternoon, but I was in the area and wanted to scope out this spot and play with the D750. Better compositions could be had but the sun was fading, my hands were going numb, and I was afraid of dropping things in the sand and/or water.
On the jetty and area (paraphrased from Wikipedia): This 3,000 foot (910 m) stone jetty separates the eastern end of the Cape Cod Canal from Scusset Beach. The Cape Cod Canal is an artificial waterway in the state of Massachusetts connecting Cape Cod Bay in the north to Buzzards Bay in the south. Part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, the approximately 7 mile (11 km) long canal separates Cape Cod from the state's mainland.
Filters: Singh-Ray LB ColorCombo + LEE 2-stop hard-edge GND
Exposure notes: The sun was almost directly behind me but the ColorCombo still provided some nice contrast. I metered off of the sand; the 2-stop GND provided just the right amount of balance for the bright sky. To preserve some of the turbulence in the ocean, I boosted the ISO to knock down the exposure time.
