Virginia

Hey Everyone!
Guess where I am!! MEXICO!! Actually not right now because I’m writing this ahead of time, but get ready for some awesome images of Cozumel next week 🙂 The main reason why I’m going is to go scuba diving, but I’ll try to sneak some shots of the beaches.

Now, heres what happened this past week:
I visited the Thomas Jefferson Memorial at sunrise and the Memorial Bridge at sunset.
I took another trip to Great Falls National Park and learned a lot from my experience there.
Then I brought it back to earlier in the summer when I visited a sunflower field in Southern Maryland.
Finally, to round out the week I posted a new image of the Library of Congress in DC.

I was also featured in Fun in Fairfax for the very first time!

Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

It is so humid nowadays that when I came back from this shoot, my shirt was soaking with sweat 🙂 Pretty picture right?

So, I went to my usual spot where I thought I could get a nice sunset image. I was really uninspired. I took a few shots, but nothing was really wowing me. I decided just to wait a little bit and hoped that the sky would change in a couple of minutes. So, listening to my ipod and no one being around, I felt as though I could sing and dance along with my music. Good thing my music was so inspiring cuz I would of never have turned around and looked downstream to see the sky was gorgous in the other direction! The funny thing was that after I took this image, I turned around again, and my original sunset spot was beautiful.

There was nothing particulary difficult or challenging about this shoot. I had to be patient waiting for some boats to clear the way and hoping for some nice light from the sunset. Other that it was pretty smooth.

It’s getting pretty difficult to figure new places to go around DC, especially for sunset because there are very limited spots where the sunset actaully looks good.

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 🙂

I wasn’t planning on going out to take pictures, but I was taking my puppy out for a walk after a thunderstorm and noticed all the clouds. I quickly ran to my computer and tried to figure out a good sunset spot in the city. The Air Force Memorial is one of the newer memorials and I wasn’t sure if it would be a good place for sunset. I decided to try it anyways since I could point up in the sky and I could at least get some good clouds. I’m glad I waited til after the sunset, when all the other tourists went home, to get this shot.

This past weekend I was at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center Air and Space Museum in Chantilly, Virginia. Although this wasn’t my first time there (seen here), I took a different approach this time. I thought about how some photographs I’ve seen look kinda hectic. There are plane and other sorts of flying objects on the ground, in the air, and sometimes right in you face. I thought I’d try to find the more simple things and concentrate on lines. I love how the helicopter propellers lead your eye into the image.
