ANGELA B. PAN

Taken just a few steps and a quarter turn from yesterday’s image, I was so lucky to be out for such a beautiful sunrise.

I was suprised by how many people were out. Some were joggers but others looked like tourists just walking around admiring the Vietnam Memorial. Is it rude that while I was lining up this shot, these tourists were walking right in front, taking their sweet time. I was really excited about this composition and was about to press the shutter down when I noticed that they would not move! I cleared my throat really loud and I think they got the hint. Sorry! I get very eager and didn’t want to miss the light.

As a little experiment, I thought it would be fun to see what the Tidal Basin looked like during Autumn. We’ve all seen the pics from Spring, but what do the cherry blossoms look like now?

Most of them were pretty dead. Maybe if I went a few days earlier it would of been better. I’m lucky there was this red monster still hanging out.

This was my third attempt at going to the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial. Why so many? The first time I went, it was closed. The second time, I was not happy with the images I came out with. Third time is the charm 🙂 I had heard that this memorial was finally open 24 hours, meaning I could go there for sunrise (my favorite time of day).

All the times that I’ve been the Lincoln Memorial, its never really occured to me to step outside and take a picture of the whole moument itself. It’s so beautiful, especially at night when the lights on the monument are turned on.

In all actually this image was not intended. I finally made it to the Martin Luther King Memorial and spent most of my time there. Walking back to my car, I walked past the Lincoln and had to stop and take a picture. The sky was beautiful with just the right amount of clouds to make the sky more exciting.

This was taken at the same time as this image. The difference now is that I think this post processing is better. As this daily blog continues, I can tell a huge difference in my work from when I first started (back in January). It’s really unbelivable to see. Sometimes I’m think to myself, “Wow I can’t believe I took that image”. It makes me really grateful for being able to do what I do and I know that its only going to get better and I can’t wait!

This is sunrise and this is sunset. Days like this you can’t help but think, “DC is a beautiful city”.

I was intending on getting a different shot this morning, but when I was walking past the Tidal Basin, I couldn’t help but stop and take a picture. It was way too good to pass up.
