As many times as I’ve mentioned my friend, Larry on the blog, I’ve finally taken a picture of him! LOL, sort of. This was taken from the Altaire rooftop in Arlington, VA. We were actually leaving the rooftop when he was a few steps ahead of me. I saw him walk past this divider, I told him to stop, and act like he was taking a picture. I think this turned out cooler than I had imagined! I loved how the silhouette turned out.

Also really looking forward to going to New York this weekend. Besides PhotoPlus, I plan on just shooting a lot around the city. So this is basically what I’ll be looking like if I were a guy with a backward hat on. LOL.

Let me know if you’ll be in New York this weekend too!

My camera settings for this image are F6.3 at 1/800th sec and ISO 200 with my Sony A7II and 70-200mm zoom lens.

Another one from Crystal City’s Altaire apartment building. I love this view at sunrise. It’s so interesting to watch the city wake up and this is the perfect place to do it. I think what I like most about this image is all the layers. The curvature on the road goes so nicely with the formation of the water in front of the Washington Monument.

In other news, later this week I’ll be heading up to New York with Andrew. I’ll be in and out of PhotoPlus, so if you’re there, let me know! Its my first time at any kind of photography convention like this so I have no idea what to expect. All I know is that I’m in for a good time! Plus if you have any other NY photo/food recommendations let me know. Andrew and I do try to go at least once a year, but I’m always looking for new places to go 🙂

My camera settings for this image are F5 at 0.8 sec and ISO 400 with my Sony A7II and 70-200mm zoom lens.
