Thanksgiving 2021 on Cape Cod

I recently ventured out to Cape Cod, Massachusetts to enjoy Thanksgiving with family. While the bulk of time was spent just enjoying each others’ company, I did manage to take a few photos, which I’ll share in this post.

I brought only my phone and my 5D Mark IV with a 50mm lens mounted. That turned out to be enough! I took this photo with my phone using a long-exposure app called Spectre as my dad drove over the Bourne Bridge onto the Cape.
When I see that sign, I know I’ve made it! Click here to order a print of this photo.
I got to meet a very sweet labradoodle puppy named Ginger. With only my 50mm lens, I used Photoshop’s superzoom feature to crop this image and retain resolution.
Cheers!
The table is set!
My dad prepares to take his first bite of Thanksgiving dinner, as I made him pause for a photo.
Thanksgiving time also comes with some time to relax. Here, my grandmother works on a crossword puzzle.
My aunt knows how to make up a cheese plate!
Yum, stuffed clams from Mac’s Seafood!
It’s the classic day-after-Thanksgiving leftover turkey sandwich for lunch!
This is Crystal Lake, located in Orleans. I love the Christmas tree on the dock! Click here to order a print of this photo.

This is one of my favorite little corners of the world, Weeset Point in Orleans. This was sort of an unintentional two-shot panorama done off a ledge since I didn’t even bring my tripod. Click here to order a print of this photo.
