Friday Foto from the grave at Mt Olivet Cemetery

I have taken up photography as a hobby in hopes to make it a business someday.  I am still far from the great photographers out there that grind out great shots day in and day out.  I joined a photography guild a few months back in Brunswick called the Brunswick Photographer’s Guild…simple enough.  It is filled with great people that help each other grow by sharing tips and tricks of the trade.  We have monthly meetings, contests and photowalks.  I organized the latest one at Mt Olivet’s Cemetery in Frederick.  The cemetery has great history dating back to pre-civil war era.   I thought it would be fitting getting since it is close to Halloween and especially since it was a full moon.

I am still processing all the shots from the cemetery walk, but you will be able to see them here when I am all finished.  In the mean time, I leave you with my Halloween Postcard.  (I wanted to make sure you got it before the holiday…I know how things can get lost in the mail)

This was a long exposure shot with a little touch up magic of photoshop.

Enjoy the weekend, get out and see the fall foliage.

Freaky Friday Foto

My good friend called me the other day and asked me if I heard about Stonehenge in Frederick.  I didn’t have a clue.  He said it was on the news…still no clue.  Someone took the time to stack (or glue) a bunch of rock formations all along Hamburg Road.  Who knows how long these rock formations have been here.  The formations are quite unique and interesting to view. You can find the at the end of Rosement to Yellow Springs which turns into Hamburg Road. This is a goat path of a road that leads up to Gambrill State Park.

Here is what I found…

Have a great weekend.

Friday is for Fishing Fotos

I had the opportunity to camp out on the C&O canal a few weeks ago.  It was something that I haven’t done in quite sometime.  It was a primitive campsite, you know, no electric…no frills.  We set up camp and headed out to the Potomac river for some fishing.  We had great day on the water by landing many small mouth bass and a few blue gills.  We we were even graced by a Bald Eagle on both days.  He watched over us as we pulled fish out of his river.  I was hoping for him to swoop down and snatch one out in front of us…but he just patiently just watched perched high above the river.

The day was coming to an end when I took this picture of my friend Jim. I thought it summed up the weekend pretty well. Peace and tranquility.

You can click on the photos to see a few others from the week. If you get a chance to fish or just float the Potomac River, I would highly recommend it. We had a great weekend. And by the way, the ground is much harder than I remembered. Thank God I had my hammock. (sleeping under the stars was pretty cool too)

Have a great weekend.

Fridays Foto for Short Sales but not real estate

Well not exactly a short sale, but a short sales person maybe… I passed Connie Snook’s little car and couldn’t resist a Friday Foto.

She may drive a short car, she might even be short, but I bet she’s not short on customer service.

I wonder how small she can make your insurance premiums??? Give Connie Snook a call at 301-695-7896. Or you can stop by her website at conniesnook.org and request a quote. She is located at 1 Mt Olivet Blvd, Frederick MD 21701.

This is not an endorsement only a photo op for her car. ; )

Have a great weekend.
