For me, its pretty unbelivable how many images I’ve gotten out of this one shoot. I don’t think I’ve gotten so many images that I’ve been happy with ever. It’s probably a combination of the fog, sunrise, and amazing subjects that were just right there. While I was at the Manassas Battlefield if I was taking new images at every turn. I love it!
I am so lucky. As soon as I walked into Meadowlark Gardens today, I saw a man walking with a tripod. I said Hi and found out his name is William B. Folsom. He’s the Meadowlark Garden photographer and teaches many classes on photography. Seriously, how much luckier could I get. We walked around and I watched him take pics of dragonflies and heshowed me all the great flowers in the garden. He also talked a lot about lighting and things to look for when shooting flowers. Thank you so much William for showing me around. I am so happy with all the images I came out with and I’m so excited to go back again soon.
Have I ever told you that Great Falls is one of my favorite spots to take pictures of in the Washington DC metro area. I’m pretty sure I have, because its my FAV!
I came here knowing I was going to take this shot. Recently, I’ve been climbing rocks and avoiding water puddles to try to get some closer up shots of the falls, but I had none that were from the look out areas. It’s funny because thats what most people think of when they think of Great Falls, the areas where you’re suppose to be, not climbing rocks and avoiding puddles. I must confess though, I did jump over the overview fence, despite the clear sign that says not to. I just wanted to get a better shot. Can you blame me?
If you made it this far… it’s my birthday! YAYAY! Go Virgos!!
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 is sunrise and this is sunset. Days like this you can’t help but think, “DC is a beautiful city”.
I was intending on getting a different shot this morning, but when I was walking past the Tidal Basin, I couldn’t help but stop and take a picture. It was way too good to pass up.
