Washington Monument: Framing Arch
WOW!!! I just realized it's been over 2 months since I lasted posted any real pictures... I guess it's due to the fact that I'm both busy and lazy. Hopefully I'll remedy that soon.
So last week I was out in Washington, D.C. for the MAPLD 2006 International Conference. I can 100% guarantee that none of my readers know anything about this, nor do they care. It's basically a bunch of electrical engineers getting together to talk about computer chips that go into space or into planes. The highlight of the week was an evening at the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum with a special presentation by Apollo 13 astronaut Fred Haise. As I put it, "There's nothing like a bunch of space geeks at a space museum!"
Nevertheless, I was able to get out and take some photos a couple of my nights there.... My D.C. shots will be put up over the next few posts.
Photo Notes:
The Washington Memorial viewed under the Wilson Memorial Arch. My coworker and I had just hopped off of the metro train at the Smithsonian station. This the first view I had of the Memorial and I liked how the arch framed it, so of course I set up the tripod and got a few shots.
The other thing I like about this photo is that usually when you are shooting you make sure there is a clear foreground, middleground, and background in the shot. Typically the foreground object is on the bottom of the picture, but here it lies on the top - the stones of the bridge.
