Washington Monument with Venus

Washington Monument, Washington, D.C.
March 23rd, 2015
Another trip early in my photography life, I spent an evening with a fellow photographer walking around Washington D.C. The night was nearly clear, but definitely on the cold side. We stopped by the Washington Monument and I was able to grab this shot. I setup in a position that allowed me to capture all of the monument, in an upward angle to show the full size of the monument. It was just after dark and Venus was out high enough in the sky to allow me to include it in the shot. Because of the low light, this is a long exposure photograph and why the flags surrounding the monument have a blurred, movement like feel.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
