Happy Weekend!
Hope you all have a great Labor Day weekend. This past week has been a really fun for me. First off, I filmed a new video about 4 essential lenses for nature, landscape, and travel photographers:

Here are my images from the past week:
One of my favorite Great Falls images I’ve taken to date.
Here’s a rather cloudy shot of the Capitol, the morning after Hurricane Irene.
When I think about Cozumel, I think about this.
Towards the end of the week, I decided to practice my macro. I think its really important to be good at various types of photography. So, heres an image of two red flowers. Then I posted my very first water droplet image!

Last week State of NOVA was so awesome and posted my image from Old Town Alexandria.

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?

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!!

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.
