30 Days with the Fuji x100s: Day 18

Washington Monument Light Trails.

I can't stop trying to get light trails. Today I learned that the Washington Monument doesn't turn on all of the lights until it's pitch black. And strangely it turns them on sections at a time. I didn't really notice until I was leaving and all the lights were coming on.

All my blue sky pictures are with the unlit monument. The street light has way too much prominence.

Here's my favorite shot even though only the top of the monument is lit and the sky is black.

I love when buses go by because I know I'll get multi-level lights. And cops always make me giggle too. 

I had to stop on my way to the car to get the fully lit monument. It was then that I realized it wasn't lit before.

I have always liked the size of this camera. It is the greatest thing about it. Even when I put it on a tripod, I don't feel like I am sticking out or taking up too much room. I fit on a very narrow sidewalk with the camera on a tripod and people were able to walk by. Another great thing is that since I've had this camera not one person has stopped to talk to me about cameras or ask me what camera to buy. It happens all the time when I pull out my DSLR.
