A Capitol View
Uploaded: July 27, 2014 07:29:50 | Entered: July 27, 2014 07:29:50
This weekend, I made some new photography friends from Australia, and took them to Arlington Cemetery
for sunset views over The National Mall. Not only did we enjoy the newly-revealed Washington Monument
(no longer encased in scaffolding for earthquake repairs) but I was able to pop my camera onto their impressive
EF 200-400 f/4L for a few shots, and enjoy the crisp, 18-point starbursts forming on streetlights at
about f/20, vs. my zoom which makes very "mushy" starbursts in comparison.
For some scale, the domed US Capitol Building is 3.3 miles, straight-line measure, from where we stood taking this photo.

As it runs around $12k for that lens, I think I will continue to hope for the kindness of other photographers who own it, to let me take a few shots from time to time! #11093281

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
