The best camera is the one you have with you.....and often my iPhone camera is that one....
Falmouth has some great photographic sites. There is Nobska Light in the village of Woods Hole overlooking the tricky Woods Hole passage to the west and Marthas Vineyard to the south. Also, in nearby Quissett, there is a picturesque harbor and peninsula out into Buzzards Bay called "The Knob", a much photographed site, especially at sunset facing west. My favorite sunset beach is Chapoquoit Beach in West Falmouth, just north of Quissett. I am curious about your photo conference in Hyannis....what is it? Is it public? There is usually a big one for camera club members in November.
