All the times that I’ve been the Lincoln Memorial, its never really occured to me to step outside and take a picture of the whole moument itself. It’s so beautiful, especially at night when the lights on the monument are turned on.

In all actually this image was not intended. I finally made it to the Martin Luther King Memorial and spent most of my time there. Walking back to my car, I walked past the Lincoln and had to stop and take a picture. The sky was beautiful with just the right amount of clouds to make the sky more exciting.

Tropical Storm Lee finally left! After 4 straight days of crazy rain I finally saw sun!!
The next morning I went out to take pictures for sunrise and I was really hoping for some crazy colors in the sky but I think I got something better. I got a beautiful sunrise with a slight fog which really soften things up.

I was really nervous once I got to Manassas, VA, where this image was shot. . Light usually peaks up about 30 minutes before the sunrises but it was so dark that I could barely see anything. If you’ve been to Manassas than you know there aren’t that many people to begin with and at 6am theres hardly anyone. For some reason I get nervous when no one is around as opposed to a lot of people around. I stayed in my car for about 15 minutes before I go the courage to finally step out.

Lesson learned when photographing after a tropical storm and fog: wear water proof pants! My pants were soaked to my knees at the end of this trip.

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.

This was taken at the same time as this image. The difference now is that I think this post processing is better. As this daily blog continues, I can tell a huge difference in my work from when I first started (back in January). It’s really unbelivable to see. Sometimes I’m think to myself, “Wow I can’t believe I took that image”. It makes me really grateful for being able to do what I do and I know that its only going to get better and I can’t wait!

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.

FamousDC was so nice and wished me a happy birthday. Plus they changed their background and its my Capitol at Sunrise image. YAY!!

Thanks for reading and I hope you guys have a great weekend!

When I think about Cozumel, this is what I imagine. Half the shore line and half the street. So sad the summer is ending soon but so excited for fall colors!
