clouds
The weather in DC has been kinda crappy lately. It hasn’t really felt like summer for the past few weeks and the rest of this week is calling for rain. This is forcing me to look back at some of my old shoots and see if I can find something worth while.
So, I know I have lots of images of the Jefferson, but this one is kinda different than the others because this is the back side of the memorial. A side that isn’t viewed very often.
So, the hurricane wasn’t all that I thought it was going to be. It was kinda disappointing. I thought after the storm passed I’d get all these crazy beautiful skies, but it just didn’t happen. This is the morning after Irene. The weather report called for clear skies, but I thought, how could it possibly be clear?
Taken right off the balcony on our first day there, the sunset was really breathtaking. Not because it was particularly colorful but because of the overwhelming clouds. I didn’t realize how the dark clouds could effect the lighting so much in the water and reflection.
Processing this image was a little difficult for me. Actually, this image and the previous sunrise image were both difficult. For this particular image, it was finding the right composition and the colorful sky. I had to do a single image HDR because the boat in the foreground kept on moving with the waves. The previous image, seen here, was difficult because I wanted there to be more color. That image also had to be a single image HDR just because of the waves moving.
