I try to visit the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial in DC… FAIL
tidal basin
Taken at the same time as this image, the Washington Monument looked so pretty witht he pink and purple sky behind it. I didn’t spend much time here taking this image because I have a lot from the tidal basin already. Just wanted to capture the bueautiful sky.
The thing I really like about this image is that you can see the two different stones on the monument. I love little details like that.
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.
The Jefferson Memorial isn’t just for the Cherry Blossoms, it’s beautiful anytime of the year. Although when I went this morning, I didn’t get the shot I expected. I wanted to go down closer to the tidal basin and walk around to try to find my perfect image. Come to find out it was flooded. All these thunderstorms got in my way again! Rain, rain go AWAY!
