Bridge

It’s a new year at MDP.  Sorry again for the sporadic posts.   We’re still here though.    In 2012 MDP has a new resolution not to purchase any new camera equiptment until MDP has eaked every last ounce of photograpic power out of what it has.   Or until I lose a sufficient amount of weight to reward myself with a frivelous camera accessory.   So today’s picture comes from the last frivelous camera accesory (a new lens with very shallow depth of field), that MDP will have for a long time.

Rock Creek Trail 2

Another super wide shot of the trail.

Rock Creek Trail

I frequently post pictures from Rock Creek Trail.  So finding a new way to look at the trail started to become important to me a few months ago.  I stuck a lens that was made for small sensor digital cameras onto my film camera and got a few of the cool looking, super wide shots.

DTSS

Here’s a sunset shot of the building where yesterday’s post came from.  These pics also have a secondary purpose of welcoming some MDP friends to their new home in the building on top of which these shots were taken.

Sculpture2

Here’s another one.  MDP had some friends in town when this sculpture was being erected and they witnessed this thing being hauled down the street but could not figure out what it should be.   Then they came across it a few days later after it had been placed here and it all made sense.  Well… it made more sense.

Parks

Sorry for the poor quality of this picture.  These sculptures came from a park in the middle of a new apartment community in Silver Spring.   For some reason developers seem to be all about placing new sculpture in front of their properties.  We’ll explore this phenomenon for a few posts.

The Notch

Yesterday’s panorama reminded me of this wide shot of Sugarloaf mountain.  Though the perspective of this shot makes it difficult, if you’ve seen it before you can recognize instantly that Frederick and Montgomery counties’  big mountain has a distinctive notch in it that makes it recognizable from the surrounding areas.

Chompy 2

We are posting a special shot today from last year’s Chompy, the Discovery Channel shark that takes over their headquarters building during shark week.   They have announced that chompy won’t be coming out this year.   So that new zoom lens I bought is now totally worthless.
