Rose Reflection

A serene morning at the tidal basin with excellent color. This is a panoramic photograph made up of 3 62mm exposures stiched together. NOTE: Other than the panoramic stiching, no major alterations were made to this photograph in post.

Red Dawn

Steady

Profile Sunrise

The are only a couple of days in the calendar year when this angle can be obtained. Having a horizon that is clear enough to see the sun at that time is absolutely breathtaking and rewarding. I set the exposure for the sun. NOTE: No major edits were made to this photography in post.

All American Commute

This Smithsonian Magazine Editor's Choice is one of my favorite exposure of all time. This is a 30 second shot taken prior to sunrise looking over the Memorial Bridge as rush hour traffic hurries across. I particularly like the "heartbeat" of the photography, a jogger's chestlight that appears on the right hand side of the image. NOTE: A one half stop soft GND filter was used to slightly darken the above the horion portion of this photograph. Contrast was also slightly adjusted.
