Encounters of the End of the World


World's End -Hingham 20 people show up on a cold windy snow- covered day to take pictures of the beauty of Nature's handiwork. They come saddled with backpacks, fancy cameras and tripods. This is serious business. I show up with my point and shoot and my pictures take 2 seconds to set up and another second to shoot and then I'm off to the next thing that catches my eye. The group stays for the entire afternoon-5 hours I'm told. I leave after an hour and later when I see my pictures, I'm quite happy with at least 3 of them and pretty happy with a handful of them. I only took 40 pictures, so overall I'm thrilled. My last shots were my best. But there were plenty of shots that I wanted to capture and my camera wasn't enough. I spent a week researching cameras before I settled on a mid-range digital SLR. So begins my venture into my next hobby...
