I’m back from Cozumel and had an amazing adventure! Although I was sad to come back home, I was also excited that I get to share images with all of you from Mexico.

Check out these amazing links to some of the most gorgous sunrises and sunsets in the world:
I was traveling on Monday, so I posted an image I took in Great Falls National Park at sunset of double waterfalls.
On my last day in Cozumel, I woke up really early to get this shot of the sun rising over the ocean.
Then I posted an image of our first sunset in Cozumel. It’s kinda crazy how enormous the clouds are and the reflection it makes in the water.
Right next to our hotel, were these rocks which made a beautiful foreground for a sunrise image.
Now, for a bird’s eye view of the rocks on the shore.

This image definitely came out way better than I thought it would. The sunrise was almost behind me when I took this image so I tried to get as much of the color from the sky as I could. I’m so happy that I could capture some of it.

These rocks were right by our condo/hotel. In the afternoons you could see locals coming here playing, snorkeling, and fishing. It seemed kinda dangerous cuz a lot of them were barefoot. When I took this image, I definitely wore my scuba booties.

I’m back from my trip and I had so much fun. It felt like we were non-stop the whole time. Right when we got off the plane, we went on our first dive. I’ll post a video soon from all the diving we did.

We stayed on the west side of the island, where we could watch the amazing sunset right from our balcony. Since we were so non-stop it was hard for me to get a good sunrise. Every morning we woke up early to go diving or snorkeling so on our last day there, I finally got the chance to take a sunrise. We grabbed a taxi at 5:30am and asked to go to the beach. Once we got there, some police officers stopped us and said that the beaches are closed until 6:30. In my head I was kinda freaking out. I had to go somewhere to and get the sunrise or else why did I wake up so early. I tried asking the taxi driver if there was anywhere we could go to get a good view of the sunrise, if not at the beach but luckilyhe did some sweet talking and the cops let us take pictures right at the entrance of the beach. Although we didn’t get to go to the spot we wanted, I’m glad I at least got something.

The cops also said if we had gotten there 20 minutes earlier, we would of seen a sea turtle laying her eggs. It was pretty cool because we did see the big whole she dug and her little footprints. I really wish I had been able to see that. Something you don’t see in DC.

I know I’ve been to the Jefferson a lot, especially during Cherry Blossom season, but its one of those places that always looks good during sunrise or sunset. It doesn’t matter! I love how theres beautiful reflections and how the sun always rises right by the monument. During this shoot I learned that the sun rises pretty slowly, so you can take your camera and walk around to find a better composition.

I started off behind the monument, hoping to get a different angle then what I am used to. Then I realized that I wasn’t getting any of the color. Although I did like the original composition, I want that color! I picked up my camera and walked over by the tidal basin. Another thing I need to do more often, besides walking around to find my composition, I need to try different angles with my camera. Bringing my tripod up or down, shooting horizontally or vertically, but most of all try all new perpectives. To be honest, this image kinda looks like another image I posted a few months ago, but this one is way better.

Hey Everyone!

Sorry, long time no vlog: here’s an update video of what I’ve been up to and whats going on in the next week. I’m so excited for the next week to come because I’m going to COZUMEL!
Watch the video below as I talk about it 🙂

Also, I mailed one of my favorite youtubers an image of the Manhattan Skyline seen here: fast foward to 22:18 if you want to see her open my picture 🙂

Now here are some of the images from last week:
I went to the National Gallery of Art and took this cool picture of the Hall of Lights
Also, I uploaded a different image of the Franscican Monesary that I visited last week, The Tomb of Christ
I tried to get a good shot of Great Falls National Park on the Maryland side and this is what I came up with.
Revisiting one of my favorite sunrise spots, I didn’t get much of a sunrise, but I got a unique perspective of the Lincoln.
Lastly, I introduced a new blogging style that I’m going to implement from here on out. Check out what that is here

That is all for now. I’m so excited for next week when I leave for Cozumel. I’m going to prepare some posts while for those days that I’m gone, but when I come back be prepared for some awesomeness!

Have a great weekend 🙂

Hi Everyone!! Hope you’re having a great weekend so far.
This past week has been really exciting for me, discovering new places in DC and revisiting some places I’ve been before. Here are the images:

I went to the Udvar-Hazy Center Air and Space Museum and saw helicopters and the back of space shuttle Enterprise. So cool!

Then I went to the Air Force Memorial and took this image a little after sunset. It’s probably one of my favorites to date.

I had never knew about this place, but there is a Franciscan Monastery in NE DC. It is GORGEOUS! Definitely worth a visit if you’re ever in the area.

Then I showed you a different point of view of Great Falls National Park at sunrise. Let me know what you think!

Hope you all have a great rest of the weekend and blog with you on Monday 🙂
