false colors down 50

I'm getting a bit better at manipulating IR photos taken with an unmodified camera + r72 lens filter

from the cathedral balcony

I signed up for a tour of the national cathedral towers, not knowing it'd be raining all day by the time that weekend arrived. But despite the weather, I think I preferred the shots I got.

I'd been trying to get to Centralia, PA for years. The town has been teetering on the brink of "ghost town" status for decades, since the coal mines under the town caught fire (and are still burning to this day). Despite the rain, and hail, my friends and I made the trip, and this is one of my favorite shots from that weekend.

moments before rain

My friend and I went to the Alexandria waterfront to take pictures. As I finished the last exposure for this,we felt a few drops of rain. So we packed up, and headed to the car. As soon as we close the doors, it begins to pour. But our gear was fine, and I got the image, so mission success!

I swear, I need to spend more nights in DC with a tripod.

light city baltimore

I had to thank my friend Austin for telling me about this group of light-based installations in the Baltimore inner harbor. There was a great deal of interesting things to see, and I hope they bring it back next year.

cool skies ablaze

On the way home, I looked out the window of the train, and got out onto the platform to capture it before it set. I had to wait for the next train home, but it was totally worth it.

As I'm setting up to take this photo, security guards let me know that I had literally two minutes before parts of National Harbor were being closed-off for the night. So I set up my tripod, took an long exposure, packed up and came away with this.

georgetown at dusk

I've been driving past this view on rock creek parkway for over 6 months by now. Once DST set in, I saw it in new light. I like how this came out.
