Took another shot of the capitol now that I can do better night shots. I did a longer exposure to get building detail besides the highly illuminated dome. I had the camera on top of “tourist” binocular, I’ll need to bring a tripod next time.

Photo 278: Firehouse
I love old fire houses. Something about the old wooden doors surrounded by stonework. It could just be a cast off of my love of Ghostbusters and their firehouse… This one is across the street from our DC office and I always just like to look at it.
(I should point out that this photo is from 10/5/2011 and was edited using Apple’s Aperture on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.1. RIP Steve Jobs.)
Photo 262: The Capitol from Lower Senate Park
Bonus images of a closer view of the fountain…and beer because its yummy.
Photo(s) 241: Washington Monument at dusk
I’m not sure which one I like better. You make the call!
Photo 179: The US Capitol revisited (again) at night
Yes, I’m still on my Capitol kick, this time was 11 pm at night with a 1 second exposure.
Photo 134: Train approaching
I was doing some experimentation while taking the Metro yesterday. I wish I did a longer exposure then .4 seconds for a longer train smear, but I was free handing it. I’m lucky the static portions of the shot came out as well as they did. Next time I need a mono- or tri- pod.
RE Tech Rocks DC
Get ready, I’m going to start to use flickr a lot more, I just upgraded my flickr account to a pro account. Here’s my first attack against you visually, the photos I took at the “RE Tech Rocks DC” event the other night where non-other than good friend and boss Mark Lesswing performed on his acoustic bass.
(BTW, the above if a flash based slideshow from flickr…sorry iPad users, but I’m experimenting with flickr.)
Photo 132: Bass
The stage lights are making some interesting things happen in this photo, especially once I adjusted the white balance. The bass itself is looking pretty good.
Photo 131: The tower through the trees
I like the tower of the Islamic Center peaking over the trees but no other buildings doing so in this shot.
Photo 130: Fallout 3 flashbacks
Had to drop down to ISO 1600, but I really like how it turned out. But I’m always a fan of lines going into the horizon.
And bonus image, Don’t be an ass!
