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.

Over the weekend I met up with  IGDC​, a fantastic group of photographers for Instagram​’s World Wide InstaMeet and an Earth Day celebration combination. We met at Rock Creek Park​ along the Soapstone Valley Tail​ and we were supposed to be picking up trash along the way. However the girl scouts called and asked if we left it. They’re suppose to be doing a pick up the following week and need the trash there. So there was a compromise and we just picked up the litter at the end of the trail 🙂

It’s a super easy hike if anyone is interested and the views are gorgeous! Have fun next week, girl scouts!

I couldn’t help it. I had to post this image from last week’s ah-mazing sunrise after the storm. It kind of reminds of the Lion King with the colors and birds meets San Andreas with all the flooding on the right hand side of the image, except wayyy less dramatic.

PS. Today is my half birthday. Am I the only nerd who likes to celebrate their half birthdays? I feel like I get a pass since it only comes around every four years. CUPCAKES for everyone!

So all that rain from the other day really caused a big flood at the Tidal Basin yesterday. It was kinda crazy to see exactly how much water there actually was.

I took so many images those 24 hours. Im trying my best to get through them all. Expect a vlog soon 🙂
