Angela from the future: Thank you all so much for your support on this image. It’s amazing the response I’ve gotten from it. I really appreciate all your kind words! Here’s my reaction to the day.
This was taken 10 minutes before this image. Isn’t it crazy how much and how fast the sky changes?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I’ve been shooting a lot of the capitol because I’ve been looking for this shot! I wanted to get a wide angle shot of a beautiful sunrise. This image took patience though. About 4 “unsucessful” trips to the Capitol and waiting about 30 minutes for the sky to turn all these beautiful colors. I mean, when I first got there, there was nothing really worth photographing. I was even going to leave but then I saw the sky changing. I literally screamed in my head, “OMG TIE DYE”!
Is it sad that the whole time I was processing this image I had “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays” by Nsync in my head. I don’t know why, but it’s always been one of my favorite holiday songs.
This was my first official time shooting the Christmas tree. I must admit, I thought I wouldn’t be allowed to use my tripod, but I always bring it just in case. I was able to pull it out and use it like a monopod, but there were so many little kids everywhere that sometimes it was a little difficult to use.
When you walk into the Library of Congress the first thing you see are these two gorgous stairways on the right and left side of the building. The miniature woman statute is right at the foot of the stairs and she makes a great centerpiece to the amazing library.
I went to the Captiol with a particular shot in mind. BUT it had to be with a really colorful sky. So, when I got up this morning, I looked outside and saw the clouds. Perfect! Because clouds make for pretty sunrises (about 60% of the time).
When I go to the Capitol it was way too cloudy. There was hardly any color and I basically walked around the whole building trying to look for a shot. I was pretty down and decided that it was just one of those days and thought about the next time I would come out. Then, I walked past these big blocks in the middle called “seatwells” or something like that. They had these amazing reflections of the building and thought it would be perfect.
