Storm headed our way from Alexandria, VA.

This morning at the Alexandria Waterfront there were some dark, heavy clouds as Tornado Karen is expected to hit today.
This image was particularly hard. Since this was taken at the edge of a dock, the raft in the front of the image was bopping up and down. Since I shoot HDR and combine multiple exposures, the boat looked like a ghost. I had to use some ninja photoshop skills to keep it all in focus and sharp.
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.
The National Harbor in Maryland at sunset. Watch my vlog of this gorgous sunset.
