alexandria

Am I the only one who’s sad that it’s almost the end of the summer? But the exciting part is that Hurricane Irene is suppose to hit. It is it really photographer-ish of me to be excited for cloudy skys, and beautiful sunrises and sets. And who knew we would get an earth quake in DC?

Watch me talk about it in my vlog here:

This past week, I had a great time shooting the weather.
First I showed you guys an image I took back in June of Kenilworth Aquatic Garden’s Water Lilies.
Then I didn’t plan on taking this shot, but I’m really happy with all the color in it. It’s a view of Rosslyn, VA from DC.
At the same time I took that shot, I took this image of the Washington Memorial at sunset. I went back to this same spot the next morning and took of a picture of the Tidal Basin at Sunrise.
Last, but not least, I visited Alexandria, VA for a sunrise image. You can definitely tell something is coming our way.

Hope everyone stays safe this weekend!

The calm before the storm.

So, Hurricane Irene sounds like its going to be huge! I can’t wait! Can you imagine all the photo possibilities? Of course, I hope everyone is safe but I can’t wait to take some sunrise and sunset images 🙂

This was taken this morning at sunrise. It was so nice being outside, the weather was really cool but not cold. Just being by the water was so peaceful. It’s a great way to start the morning.

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.

For a change of pace, I decided that I’d visit Alexandria, VA for some sunrise pics. It was definitely the opposite of cherry blossoms because no one was there. Sure, I saw a dog walker here and there but it was very nice to be next to the water on such a beautiful morning.

Yesterday was my first time at Mt. Vernon. I loved how scenic the drive was so I went back this morning to try to get a great sunrise pic.

In efforts to try to get a the best image possible, I ended up exploring along the water and fell knee deep into mudd… TWICE. It’s important to have the right gear, but it’s also important to wear the right clothing. Don’t wear your favorite pairs of jeans or the boots you just bought over the weekend to go shoot pics. Here’s an iPhone pic of the end result:

Hope you enjoyed the image and have a great weekend everyone!
