Cherry Blossoms 2008

March 30th, 2008 | 13 Comments | Posted in Featured, My Photos

For the first time since I moved to DC six years ago, I finally got the chance to really photograph the annual cherry blossoms down by the Tidal Basin. I woke up around 4AM and arrived at the Tidal Basin at around 5 to make sure I could beat the sun and crowds. I managed to do both. Below are a few of my favorites from the few hours I spent down there:

My favorite sunrise shot


The obligatory through-the-blossoms-to-Jefferson shot


The Washington Monument overlooking the Tidal Basin

Anyone else wanna share their cherry blossom photos? There were a ton of photographers there yesterday morning. If you were one of them, put a link to yours in the comments!

You can buy prints of some of the featured photos here over at my online gallery.

You can also see the rest of my shots of the cherry blossoms in my Flickr stream.

Brief walking tour of DC

February 24th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in My Photos, PhotoWalking

You may have noticed that I didn’t post anything yesterday. Well, some of my Indian colleagues from work are in the country for two weeks and I wanted to make sure they go to see the major sights of Washington, DC. So, yesterday, we walked quite a bit… From Chinatown to the White House to the Washington Monument, and then up to Georgetown for a bite. I thought I’d share a few with you…

The sky was pretty cloudy and hazy all day so I decided to take advantage of it with some HDR shots.
