October 2012 Meeting Notes

Members got an earful, as well as an eyeful, at our October meeting. The sounds of music playing, crowds cheering, and water splashing could all be heard in Bridg Hunt’s presentation. The combination of photos and field captured audio brought an added dimension to his slideshows. Below are links to some of the work he presented:

The “Launch of the Kid II”
This presentation contains the launching ceremony of the Kid II. You can watch, as well as hear, the ship being blessed, christened and launched. Launching marks the birth of a vessel and it is amusing to hear “Happy Birthday” being played (on bagpipes) during the ceremony.

Taylor’s Island Kettle Clambake 2008 – This presentation makes your mouth water as you watch and listen to the sounds of a clambake. Guests arrive at the island by boat and seaplane, on a beautiful summer day. Watch and listen as they enjoy live music, dine on lobster, corn on the cob, clams, mussels and more. “The bake is ready to be opened…so let’s eat.”

Taylor’s Island Kettle Clambake 2011 – Watch this time lapse photography closely in the beginning and you can see the moon setting in the morning sky (later in the evening you can see fireworks). Watch all of the day’s happenings as they unfold (captured by multiple cameras) and accompanied by a live music soundtrack from that day.

Ferry launch – Watch the launch of the Manhansett, a ferry built by Freeport Ship Building in Florida. The sounds and images from this day are very memorable, especially the explosive splash as the ferry is launched.
