This was the first night I'd ever been able to see the milky way with my eyes. I'd recently become enamored with astrophotoghy, but living in DC, there were almost no stars visible. After weeks of research and planning, I came out to Skyline Drive in VA with my friend Max, and we stopped at a few lookouts to shoot. I had a number of photos obliterated by car headlights, but I really liked the way this one came out. I can't wait to try more things like this!
I'd just received my 12mm f/2 for the X-T1 and I couldn't wait to try it out for landscapes. But landscapes in DC aren't terribly common, so I perched on the roof deck of a parking garage near my apartment and tried some long exposures of downtown Silver Spring.
