In between helping tourists taking pictures of themselves in front of the monument and the AMAZING sunset, I managed to capture a few of my own. At one point I had to start turning some down. I think people just assume that I know how to take pics just because I have a SLR and tripod… but that’s just my guess.
I was just in a really good mood. I was excited to be shooting the storm with friends and excited for the potential of amazing skies. So glad I came out with two wins.
Last week I met up with a few friends to shoot the sunset. I was so glad they were down for anything because it started to pour! Like every inch of my body was wet from the rain. And of course, I didn’t bring an umbrella or any kind of protective gear. But it was still a blast! We spent half the time taking shelter in the Lincoln Memorial and with a quick break in the rain, I was able to capture this crazy sky.
There must of been something good behind me. Everyone was facing the wrong direction. Or was it me? I don’t think so. I think the puddle made for a much more interesting image.
Love summer storms. They just seem to be more dramatic than any other season. Am I right? Is it because of the warmer air? I don’t know but they’re awesome. Not to self: No white tshirts when out shooting dramatic clouds. That never ends well.
Happy Independence day! Hope you all enjoy the holiday. Also I hope to get some more nice firework images tonight 🙂
