I’m sure many people in the Mid-Atlantic region feel like this guy regarding snow after getting hit by the recent blizzard. Personally I’m hoping for more as snow provides good photography opportunities.
Winter has finally arrived after an unusually warm start. Let’s take a look back at a cold snap from last year at Great Falls along the Potomac River. It had been very cold for about a week so I thought I’d try shooting sunrise at the falls hoping for some ice buildup on the rocks. I ended up going twice since the first sunrise didn’t amount to much due to clouds forming minutes before sunrise.
Every year on the first Saturday in December, 23,110 luminaries are lit on the fields outside Sharpsburg, MD representing the casualties from the battle of Antietam. It is a sobering site when driving through the illumination and even more so when walking the grounds with a photography permit.
A shot along the Cliff Trail in Cunningham Falls State Park near Thurmont, MD. The backlighting really makes fall color stand out.
