aerial phoyography

clipped from dvinfo.net When I shoot arial photography and video I set the focus on manual and the focus distance to infinity. If you can not remove the door/window it’s handy to have a Circle Polarizer to prevent glare from the windows. Also if you are shooting out of a window if you shoot with a small aperture so you can selective focus past the glass. This will decrees the amount of artifacts visible on the window.

public access to beach from Hinkley Lane

from Yackon

clipped from www.yackon.com I was very pleased to see that the cut through to the beach is town property and that the beach has an official access point number/sign/etc. While you can't park at the end (pretty much bicycles and walking only) and the walk down is still a challenge, at least it is public. No more abutters shouting that this is private property to anyone walking down (as has happened in the past). Still a bit amusing to see how the land owners on either side have staked out their respective portion of the beach, so they can sun themselves behind their "fence" (although it really looks like cages!).

clipped from www.barnstablepatriot.com As co-chairman of the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound and with expensive real estate on Yarmouth’s Great Island, convenience store magnate Christy Mihos has often been in the cross-hairs of the supporters of the Cape Wind Associates project for Nantucket Sound. Christy’s of Cape Cod is finding a convenient truth about wind power: it can help pay the bills. “I do believe in wind power,” Mihos said in a phone interview Tuesday morning. To prove that, Mihos has plans to install wind turbines at nine of his 15 Cape locations, including the Christy’s overlooking Hyannis Inner Harbor and at the corner of Route 28 and Falmouth Road at the Hyannis/Yarmouth border.

First off ...

Everybody on Nantucket wants something changed or something to stay the same - passionately.

A lot of people would like things on Nantucket to revert to a time when they first arrived, by birth or by the ferry.

Around here, talk of the future often revolves on how much of the past people are willing to give up.

And then there are upstarts who want to plan for the future without considering the past.

And an endless combination of the above.

What's on YOUR wish list for Nantucket?
