Arlington National Cemetery

This is a series of photographs i took in color and Black and White. This is an incredible large place to walk around it and a person could not see it all in a day. It has over 20 burials a day that happen there. If you ever get a chance to go there, I strongly recommend it. The feelings that it makes you have are strong.

Back Stairwell...

Back Stairwell..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I took this at the National Museum of Natural History. It is part of the Smithsonian Institute that is located in Washington DC. I love the colors that it was painted. The Totem Poll is located in the center and it is over 35 feet tall. I thought that it was a hard photo to take because of the height of the structure and the lighting located around the walls.

Exposure: 0.4 sec (2/5)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 400

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.

Exposure: 20 sec (20)
Aperture: f/14
Focal Length: 18 mm

Light Trails 1

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.

Exposure: 20 sec (20)

The Lincoln Memorial

The Lincoln Memorial, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

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
Focal Length: 30 mm
ISO Speed: 400

Washington DC Photos...

I took these yesterday while we were walking in Arlington Cemetery. The photos are of the JFK grave site. JFK, Jacqueline Kennedy, and two children are buried at the memorial. I have more photos to fallow this week.
