Winter Wonderland!

There was some nasty weather in many parts of the country the past few days. The mountains of Western Maryland got their share. I'm just glad I didn't have to drive in it. Here are some photos of the beautiful sights I got to enjoy this afternoon.

Another moon photo

I went back out with my new 500mm zoom lens this evening. The full moon was yesterday but the weather was lousy here so I didn't get a chance to take pictures. Today was really windy but I managed to get some decent shots. I think this one is my favorite:

The Moon

I bought a new lens for my camera this week. I decided to splurge on a 500mm zoom lens. It's huge! It came today and it was perfect timing because the moon was almost full. Here's how the moon looks through a 500mm zoom lens:

2014 Photo Calendars

I enjoy sharing my photos in many different ways. One of those ways is through yearly calendars. Each year, I make a 5x7 calendar with 13 different 4x6 photos. Each month has its own actual photograph. Below are the photos from the brand new 2014 calendar. I sell these through my web site, so if you're interested, you can go to www.faithproductionsofcumberland.com/onlinestore.php to order the calendars. You can order through PayPal and if you don't have a PayPal account you can use a credit card through PayPal without needing an account.

 Here are the photos for 2014 (actual photos in the calendars will not have the watermark on them):

Rocky Gap State Park--One last autumn trip

I took one last trip out to Rocky Gap State Park to take fall foliage photos. The colors were hit and miss this year but it is still a beautiful place.  Here are a few of my photos from last week:
