Landscape Photo Walk

It finally got up into the 40s, so I could go out on another photo walk. This time it was to the Key Bridge. I do so love a good bridge. The path to the bridge is called the Potomac Heritage Trail. I think it's funny because the George Washington Parkway is all of 10 feet to my left. And National Airport is 1 mile up the Parkway, so traffic and planes are heard at all times. It's not a very peaceful trail, but it's peaceful enough for being in the middle of a city.

I was surprised to find the Potomac frozen over. It has been pretty cold though.

And this shot I like because of the white trees. They remind me of a Bob Ross painting. The picture doesn't do the scenery justice really. I have to figure out the right way to photograph those trees so they really stand out. It's my next challenge.

Caught in the Act

I am enjoying this series. The on-board flash is hard for me to master. Truly, it's hard for me to accept harsh, crappy lighting as a viable option, but I think I'm doing it! And it's not my normal style to make more out of the environment then the model, so that's a neat challenge for me as well.

I shoot this series for trade and I wonder if the models really get anything out of it. It's not a portrait shot like many of my others. And sometimes you really can't make out the model in the image which is especially true in this shot. I hope they at least enjoy the experience!
