Through The Lens 23 – Winter on the Western Maryland Railroad

Here’s another one from my railroad photography trip this past February.  This time we’re at the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad for a Lerro Productions photo charter, the last one with Locomotive 734 to go all the way to Frostburg due to a recent landslide on the line.  Hopefully scenes like this will be possible again soon.

Through The Lens 20 -Pine Tree

I had hoped to share a photo from this week’s railroad photo charters, but as usual I’m a little behind on processing. I promise I’ll have one ready next week. In the meantime, this week’s photo was one of those happy accidents. As I was walking back from the Upper Falls Viewpoint in Yellowstone, this little pine tree was just standing there in perfect light. It stopped several of us in our tracks.

Through The Lens 19 – Steam in the Snow

The Narrows

Here’s a favorite of mine from a winter photo charter a few years back at the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. The weekend started with cloudy weather which turned to heavy snow later in the day. Sunday morning brought clear skies and some amazing light, especially for this shot of 734 in the Narrows early in the morning. With 3 days of photo charters on two railroads next week, I’m hoping for similar conditions and hopefully some good images.

Through The Lens 16 – Snow!

With a blizzard bearing down on the east coast I thought I would share one of my all time favorite snow photos.  I drove to Williamsburg the morning after a snowstorm to get this shot of the Wythe House framed by the trellis in the Wythe House gardens.  Williamsburg doesn’t get snow very often, but when it does snow, it’s worth a trip to see it.
