Light Trails 2

Light Trails 2, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

We were at DC last night and we saw several of the memorials. I was on my way back to the car and we came upon the cross walk. It was a really good area for doing this type of photography with the surrounding lighting and both directions of traffic. I used "Vivid Mode" for this shot.

This was the first of the "Traffic Trails" set that i used to post. I used a long exposure time and it hight F/Stop. I love the tail lights that were going past where i was set up to shoot the photo. The lighting across the street as well as the traffic lights gives it an almost ethereal feel to the photograph. This series was taken between the FDR and the Korean Memorials.

The Lincoln Memorial

I shot this in Black and White as well as 16:9 High Definition Aspect Ratio. It was not a long exposure. I did use low F/Stop. I think that the B/W shows off the contrast in the marble that it was built with. I used a flash for this photo.

Exposure: 0.1 sec (1/10)
Aperture: f/5

I took this on 4.11.2008 at 10.26pm. It has a very CGI look to me. It was also shot in Vivid Mode. It has a very ethereal look to it.
