The view from Jefferson Memorial

Before we got soaked in DC we had a little thunderstorm go through the area. Thankfully we were inside the Jefferson Memorial. I took this shot while it was raining and the clouds took up half of the Washington Monument. When it had begun to clear up I took it again with better results. On our way back to the hotel it began to torrential downpour. Now I know my camera bag is waterproof.

Night Images

I wanted to post another blog focusing on the night images. I took this HDR image the night after all of the rain. The only thing that was an issue was the high winds. Which threw any type of peaceful reflection shot right out the window. But I knew with long shutter speeds I could smooth over the water. The wind was creating about foot high waves off the reflecting pool. I hope you enjoy.

Washington DC

This past weekend I got together with some friends for a photo jaunt of the cherry blossom's in Washington. I'm still working on processing of the images but I think this best exemplifies the trip. Full of rain and crowds high school field trip groups. We spent most of the time capturing some great night shots of the Mall but we also saved time to get completely drenched during the day. luckily the camera stayed dry. I hope you enjoy.
