Farm Shoot
This month’s DCC photography field trip was to the historic O’Neil Farm in Duxbury, Ma. Lots of interesting animals, none of whom were inclined to cooperate with focusing or framing. Love those goats, though. Real personalities. They remind me of some of the old men around town. Here are my shots at the farm.
Plimoth Patuxet
Another field trip by the Duxbury Camera Club, this time to the preserved community and museum at Patuxet in Plymouth Ma. It was a warm early spring day with harsh sunlight, so not the best conditions for a photo shoot. But we did our best. Here are some of mine.
Under the Golden Dome
Our latest foray with the Duxbury Camera Club was to shoot up on Beacon Hill. We spent an afternoon in the Massachusetts State House. Here’s a gallery of some of my shots.
Staff were very open to our group shooting away and one of the security folks even opened up the House Chamber for us. I used the Leica SL3 with a Sigma 35 f1.2, as well as the Viltrox 16mm f1.8. The Sigma is a little big and heavy but both lenses performed well with the interior shots.
Museum of Industry
I haven’t posted anything. for a while. But now I have a few photos to post. This group of images is from a Duxbury Camera Club field trip to the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation in Waltham, MA.
It’s a cool little place. I tried out my new Viltrox 16mm F1.8 on the SL3. (It’s a really sharp and fast wide-angle, with very little distortion. It performs well with the big sensor on the SL3 and gives the Leica lenses a run for their money on image quality.)
Concord & Lexington
The April 2025 Duxbury Camera Club field trip was to the towns of Concord and Lexington on the heels of the 250th anniversary of the historic battles. It was a beautiful spring day with maybe a bit too much direct sunlight to be ideal for photography. But I shot anyway. (None will be heard around the world, I’m sure.) An enjoyable day nonetheless.

Duxbury Camera Club November Field trip
This month we headed up to the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum near Cleveland Circle and then to the Lars Anderson Auto Museum. Interesting locations and a good day out with the group. Both places were good spots for detail and object study photos. Here are a bunch that I took.
Provincetown Afternoon
Another day-trip with the folks from the Duxbury Camera Club; this time to Provincetown. Even in the off-season, the streets were teeming. I took a few shots around town and some out on the beach, but focused mainly on individual street portraits downtown. Everyone I ran into was friendly and cooperative, including Shane, a local fisherman, and the ladies at the Lobster Pot. I hope I did them justice.
Camera was the Leica SL3 and I mostly used the Sigma 35mm 1.2 Art Lens.
DCC 2023 Field Trips
Last spring I joined with fellow members of the Duxbury Camera Club for a field trip to New Bedford. Even after living my entire life in costal Massachusetts I had never visited the famous whaling town. It was a great opportunity to spend time with some of the folks from the club and explore this picturesque city.
The Whaling Museum was a high point of the excursion. The staff were helpful (and patient) with our roving band of camera-carrying club members — and I think everyone got some good shots too.
Speaking of DCC field trips, here are some shots from a fall excursion, this time to Weir River Farm in Hingham.
