Statue In DC

As soon as JC and I arrived in DC for Obama’s Inauguration, we parked our car at the Ronald Regan Airport and took the Metro directly to The Mall. We wanted to scope out The Spot to watch Obama’s inauguration and while everyone was busy throwing questions at the security guards, I was captivated by the color palette in the sky.

    I like the angle of the photo. And the sky looks magical - almost as if it's photoshopped.

    I didn't Photoshop this one but it's a program that I'd sure like to learn how to use. And maybe a new camera would help make for better photos like yours.
  • Beautiful!
  • Oh wow, what a sky! Gorgeous.

    P.S. Hopefully working on a guest post for you this weekend. :)

    Woohoo! I can't wait to read it. Let me know when you think it will be ready. I'll make sure to post it ASAP. :)

    Very beautiful image Monica!! Well done. And what an amazing memory to accompany it, to be in Washington for the inauguration.
  • monica530
    Thanks! The inauguration was quite an adventure.
  • Absolutely LOVE the angle of the shot and the color palette. It's amazing how half the sky is this vibrant sky blue, but the other is heather gray....very striking.
  • monica530
    Yea, I really really like the palette of it too. Everything about it seems to pop in it's own way and compliment each other at the same time. Hmm...I wonder if I could paint that. :)
  • leighshulman
    That is indeed quite a photo! It almost looks like you took two shots at different times of day and fused them together.

    Haha! I wish I was that skilled in PhotosShop.
