ANGELA B. PAN

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.

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.

Merced River is like none I’ve ever seen. The rocks are so big that I called them dinosaur rocks and with the backdrop of the huge mountains and cliffs, you can stand there and watch this river forever.

I took this shot again with a purpose. The purpose was to test out the Canon 70-200mm v ii Telephoto Lens. I was lucky because the sunrise was GORGEOUS! A very excellent testing day if you ask me.
