It is HOT! Not really temperature hot, but humidity hot. This whole week I’ve been trying to get up to take some good sunrise shots, but the humidity has been blocking the sun, so I had to come up with something good. I thought Great Falls might be the best solution, if I focus in on the water the I wouldn’t necessarily have to have too much of the sky in the image. What do you think?

So you may be wondering why I went to Ohio. Well it all started a few months ago when I was thinking about my photography. I thought about the kind of images I wanted and how I could achieve them. For some reason, one of the first things that popped into my head was a hot air balloon festival. As my dad would say, I asked Mr. Google and he told me about the Ohio Challenge.

Who knew hot air balloons were so temperamental. Out of the three times that I went to the festival, I only really got to see the balloons fly once. The air quality and wind depends so much on the flight, it got a bit frustrating, but I’m glad I came out with at least one image.

This week has been so crazy!! I don’t think I’ve woken up so early this many times in a week in a while, but it was so worth it. Check out these links and see why.

I’ve been waiting for this moment for almost a year. The sunflowers at Mckee Beshers have finally bloomed.

Here’s a quick video of my experience there.

I went back to one of my favorite sunrise spots in Virginia, Great Falls National Park
Next I was off to DC for this image of the Capitol reflected in the reflecting pool and the WWII memorial at sunrise.
Thursday afternoon I hopped onto a plane and landed in Cincinnati! I can’t wait to show you guys what I’m doing here, but for now heres an image of the Cincy skyline at sunset.

I am so honored to be mentioned in Washington Flyer’s Top 100 Best Travel Blogs:
