It is so humid nowadays that when I came back from this shoot, my shirt was soaking with sweat 🙂 Pretty picture right?

So, I went to my usual spot where I thought I could get a nice sunset image. I was really uninspired. I took a few shots, but nothing was really wowing me. I decided just to wait a little bit and hoped that the sky would change in a couple of minutes. So, listening to my ipod and no one being around, I felt as though I could sing and dance along with my music. Good thing my music was so inspiring cuz I would of never have turned around and looked downstream to see the sky was gorgous in the other direction! The funny thing was that after I took this image, I turned around again, and my original sunset spot was beautiful.

There was nothing particulary difficult or challenging about this shoot. I had to be patient waiting for some boats to clear the way and hoping for some nice light from the sunset. Other that it was pretty smooth.

It’s getting pretty difficult to figure new places to go around DC, especially for sunset because there are very limited spots where the sunset actaully looks good.

I know I’ve been to the Jefferson a lot, especially during Cherry Blossom season, but its one of those places that always looks good during sunrise or sunset. It doesn’t matter! I love how theres beautiful reflections and how the sun always rises right by the monument. During this shoot I learned that the sun rises pretty slowly, so you can take your camera and walk around to find a better composition.

I started off behind the monument, hoping to get a different angle then what I am used to. Then I realized that I wasn’t getting any of the color. Although I did like the original composition, I want that color! I picked up my camera and walked over by the tidal basin. Another thing I need to do more often, besides walking around to find my composition, I need to try different angles with my camera. Bringing my tripod up or down, shooting horizontally or vertically, but most of all try all new perpectives. To be honest, this image kinda looks like another image I posted a few months ago, but this one is way better.

Hey Everyone!

Sorry, long time no vlog: here’s an update video of what I’ve been up to and whats going on in the next week. I’m so excited for the next week to come because I’m going to COZUMEL!
Watch the video below as I talk about it 🙂

Also, I mailed one of my favorite youtubers an image of the Manhattan Skyline seen here: fast foward to 22:18 if you want to see her open my picture 🙂

Now here are some of the images from last week:
I went to the National Gallery of Art and took this cool picture of the Hall of Lights
Also, I uploaded a different image of the Franscican Monesary that I visited last week, The Tomb of Christ
I tried to get a good shot of Great Falls National Park on the Maryland side and this is what I came up with.
Revisiting one of my favorite sunrise spots, I didn’t get much of a sunrise, but I got a unique perspective of the Lincoln.
Lastly, I introduced a new blogging style that I’m going to implement from here on out. Check out what that is here

That is all for now. I’m so excited for next week when I leave for Cozumel. I’m going to prepare some posts while for those days that I’m gone, but when I come back be prepared for some awesomeness!

Have a great weekend 🙂
Angela

This was taken the other day at Great Falls National Park. Can you tell its one of my favorite places to shoot?
I went to the park on this particular day because it had been raining on and off all day. I thought I could get a cool sunset out of the storm clouds but it was way too humid and cloudy to get anything.

Man it is so humid in DC right now. We’ve had rainstorms for the past 2 days and the sunrises and sunsets have been lacking in color. So, I had to go somewhere indoors. I decided to revisit one of my favorite sunrise spots, the Lincoln Memorial.
