ANGELA B. PAN

Bonjour! Home after an amazing trip to Paris and Florence. It was hard to figure out where to start but I thought this image of the Arc de Triomphe would be appropriate.

When thinking of the trip, it’s hard to say which city I liked best. They were both so different and had great things about both. I loved how easy it was to get around Paris and the city is just so photogenic. I must of looked like the ultimate tourist with my camera around my neck the whole trip.

Walking around NYC you can definitely feel the Christmas spirit. As I was taking this image, there were a group of people next to me taking a picture of themselves in front of the ornament. They said “say ‘big balls'”. So there you go. Big Balls.

Andrew and I spent a very cold but christmasy weekend in New York City. It was his birthday last week and thought it would be fun to have a little get away to celebrate. We did the usual touristy stuff like visiting Time Square and Rockefeller center but it was SOOO packed. So packed that it was hard to even walk. So sorry, no pictures from there. However, on our way to dinner we walked past Bryant Park. The Christmas Market caught my eye but it was the ice skating rink that I wanted to photograph. There was this cute couple with the guy helping his girl ice skate. It made for a sweet moment on the ice.

This was my second time at the Library of Congress. The first time was in the middle of the afternoon and I tried to capture the fountain, but never posted anything because I was never really satisfied by the image.

I finally got the idea to go at night. I figured the contrast of the dark night with the spotlights and water would look really good in HDR. I think my favorite part of this image are the details. I love looking at the different parts of the fountain and discovering something new.

Thanks to my friend, Tony who told me about this place. I’m embarassed to say that I used to live really close to this waterfall but never knew about it.

This is one of my favorite shots from this day because it reminds me of fireworks in the sky. Watch me try to find this beautiful spot: http://youtu.be/JzwDCOZhbQo
