This image was taken in January. It was probably one of the worst photo experiences I’ve had. It was so windy and cold that I could barely stand. Although I was wearing gloves, the gloves did absolutely nothing when I had to hold my tripod still from the wind. The tripod made my hands even colder. Just looking at this image reminds me of that day and makes me cold.

Every year, Vienna, VA has a festival called Viva Vienna. It’s a really fun event for familys and kids of all ages. I was excited to find out that it was going on during Memorial Day weekend. I wasn’t excited about the games, food or anything like that. I wanted to go at dark for some cool night shots.
My favorite part of this image is the carousel operator sitting in the middle. It would be really hard to see him if this was a short exposure, but I wanted to get the light traveling so this was 15 seconds long.

What I did Memorial Day Weekend
For some reason it took me a long time to get this image. I’d been planning on visitng the Superme Court for a while now but I wanted to make sure I had a good sunrise before I went. The first time I went the sunrise was barely there, but I took that time to practice my composition. My second attempt was the next morning and the sunrise was ok but I thought it could of been better. The third morning I woke up and was half way there when I realized the sunrise would probably be a little dull. (Sometimes you can just tell if it’s too cloudy, too clear, etc.) Finally on the fourth day the sunrise was gorgeous. I was so excited to go to the Supreme Court, but unfortunately the sky wasn’t so lit that the color was everywhere. After spending almost a full week, waking up everyday at 430am, I am done with this building for now.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! I hope you all are having an excellent weekend and out doing something fun… after you read my post 🙂
The week started on Monday (duh) with an image of Mather Gorge aka. Great Falls National Park
I went to the US National Arboretum for the first time. Although I didn’t get to spend that much time there, I saw some beautiful flowers, like these purple ones.
The same day I went to the Arboretum, I borrowed a 70-200mm lens from my local camera store (See my lens review here). I knew exactly where I wanted to go to go. Check out this view of the DC Monuments at sunrise.
Although I woke up everyday this past week for sunrise, the sun was not coporating! The last nice sky was Wednesday, I was busy all day Thursday and Friday, so I had to resort to some of my old images. The first one was from Yosemite National Park in March. There was still a little bit of snow and you can see in this Merced River image. The second “older” image is from Alexandria, VA when I went to visit Mt. Vernon in February. It’s an image of MOOOO Cows eating.
I am so lucky to have been featured in two blogs this week. The first was FamousDC.com where I had an image of the Jefferson at sunrise.
and then TheHungryMuse.com featured some of my images to give an awesome review about the awesome food in awesome Vegas.
Hmmm.. What else I think that may be it.
Hope you all have a great holiday and see you back here on Monday!

This image is from when I visited Mt. Vernon in February, check out the image here.
Right when I walked over to these cows they started staring at me. Usually I wouldn’t be scared but they were seriously staring me down. About 1 minute later a truck came by and this nice woman fed the cows. Thats why they were staring at me! They thought I was going to feed them. As soon as that hay landed on the ground they were taring at it. The cows forgot all about me and I was able to snap this image.
