and somewhere along the way, I guess I started shooting scenes for Stranger Things 2.

I found this scene in the Belle Isle Conservatory, and loved it. After a few attempts and angles, I looked at my camer's LCD and thought "I think I just created a scene from a Coen Brothers film, minus the person in skinny pants, knit cap, and glasses."

Untitled

rock creek park

Sometimes, the scene you've seen a thousand times looks completely new with just a small change.

I've been through the park many a time during the day, and the night, but on my walk back from the original capitol building stones, this scene struck me.

I'm still learning to work with infrared photos, but I'm happy with the way this one came out.

skyline and the universe

I seem to have an affinity for this tree, every time I drive out to Skyine Drive. It makes for a nice foreground.

observation

I'd planned for months to spend a weekend camping at Spruce Knob in West Virginia, and my expectations were absolutely met. The views were amazing.

light shines through

This was the sight that confirmed what I speculated throughout my morning on Spruce Knob: that wasn't fog I was in. It was a cloud.

The "fog" (it was actually a cloud) rolling through the trees on top of Spruce Mountain lent a wonderful, hazy glow to everything.

panorama at the peak

I was on my way to the western end of Maryland, passing through West Virginia when I saw this view near a restaurant. I had to drive a ways down the mountain before I found enough room to turn around and head back up. It wasn't the photo I expected to get that day, but I'm glad I went back for it.

Hello lightning, my old friend...

You wouldn't know by this photo, but the scene behind me was a ridiculous party (MAGStock 6). My friend and I kept the dock clear just long enough to get a photo before madness took over the lake.
