It’s that time of year again when the photographers start to gather at Conowingo Dam to photograph the eagles. Doesn’t look like I’ll make it down this year, but I hope to make a trip next year.
Big Creek is one of my favorite locations in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Big Creek is full of these little cascades and pools and is a lot of fun to shoot.
The road to Paradise has long been the nickname for the Strasburg Railroad. Fitting name too since the line ran from Strasburg PA to Paradise, PA where it interchanged with with the Pennsylvania Railroad, now part of Norfolk Southern.
I’m headed to Strasburg again soon for a photo charter featuring N&W 475, which will be disguised as her sister locomotive #382. N&W 382 was made famous by O. Winston Link in his photos of it operating on the N&W’s Abingdon Branch, but was lost to the scrapper’ torch.
One of my favorite photos of the Undead Ballroom Dancers from the Haunted Mansion Sequence of the Boo To You Halloween Parade at Walt Disney World. The cast members who make up this group really play up their characters, making them a lot of fun to photograph.
Happy Halloween!
Fall color from a day trip to Gettysburg a couple of years ago. The purple wildflowers contrasted nicely with the reds and oranges of the fall foliage in the background.
Here’s one from the workshop in the basement of the Klotz Throwing Mill. When the mill was in operation, machinists would have worked in this space to keep the mill running.
I’m headed there again Sunday with Abandoned America.
This weekend, I’m attending the 2017 edition of the Cass Fall Photography Workshop. While there isn’t a photo charter component this year, I’m happy that the night photo shoot will occur again this year. The photo above is from the night session at last year’s workshop. I can’t wait to see what Walter and Clayton have in store for us this year.
With any luck, I’ll post the photos from last year’s workshop in the next month.
Another from the archives. This is one of those luck favors the prepared kind of moments. A couple of years ago, Dad and I took a weekend photo trip to Colonial Williamsburg. While we were there we stumbled into a video shoot for an upcoming TV commercial, allowing us to photograph part of Duke of Gloucester Street without any non-colonial inhabitants.
Here’s one from the Archives. The Horse Pull at the Great Frederick Fair is a tradition the first Friday of the fair. While it is no longer held at the Grandstand, it is still a fun event. It is incredible seeing the excitement of the horses as they approach the sled. These workhorse breeds are impressive equine athletes.
Another waterfall located in Blackwater Falls State Park, Elakala Falls is actually a series of four waterfalls as Shay Run drops into Blackwater Canyon. The upper portion shown above, is visible from a bridge directly above the Falls. Getting to the bottom requires some effort. I also made it down to the second section but couldn’t find the trail to the sections below that. Based on the trail descriptions I’ve seen, getting to the lower two sections is very difficult.
