I was suppperrrr jet lagged when we came back from Japan. I’d wake up around 4a everyday not knowing what to do. Usually I’d just lay in bed for a few hours hoping to fall back to sleep but one morning I decided to get up and check out the scene at the tidal basin. The cherry blossoms were peaking while we were gone, so I’m glad to have captured just the last bit of them before they all went away.
So the typical photo rule is that you avoid shooting in the middle of the day. Especially if you want long exposure shots of cool creeks like this. But thanks to my friend, Kyle who told me about this 10 stop filter he got from Amazon, I thought it would be the perfect time to test it out. It’s only 30 bucks and super fun to play with. I just kept it in my shirt pocket and it was so easy to take on and off. If you’re in the market to try out a new filter, I’d try this one.
Let’s be real. Probably instagramming.
It’s a super easy hike if anyone is interested and the views are gorgeous! Have fun next week, girl scouts!
How can anyone get sick of this place? No matter how many times I go, it’s still just as exciting and beautiful as the first time.
Even though I’m not done going through all my Japan images, I’m still out shooting. This was taken two weeks ago, right after it stopped raining. I’m a sucker for weather images and I thought this puddle brought a different perspective.
