Cape Night Photography (aka Magellanous)
Simple Things
There are many flashy, bright strobing holiday displays all over the Cape. They get bigger and flashier every year. Giant inflatable critters rock back and forth as the cold winter winds blow through Cape Cod towns. However, there's something to be said for the simple. Whether it be a single string of lights above a porch, or a lone tree anchored in the middle of a pond like this one in Sandwich. Sure, you can dazzle folks with your illumination extravaganza but the display that catches this night photographer's eye is what paints the picture of a simple New England holiday. At the end of a cold and windy shoot last week, I started my trip home and spotted this. I knew I had to shoot it so I found another place to park, geared back up, and made the icy walk down to the best spot I could find. I shot there for an hour as the clouds broke and a half moon started peeping though the back end of a retreating snow storm.
