Great photo. I might be going to DC soon, how did you compose this image? #79410Mike Turner December 08, 2003
Thanks. I am not great at keeping the information for each photo. I know I need to be better as it will help me learn better. Anyway, I will give you the details that I remember. I used a tripod and 800 sp film. I think I used the auto setting. I would encourage you to use a long exposure time(i.e. 4 secs). I saw another picture of the GW mon., on this site, that was cool where the photog used a 4sec exposure time. The monument looked like it lit up the sky. It was cool. I can't remember the photog. Have fun in DC. Please share your photos when you get back as I would be interested in seeing DC from your perspective. Take care and God bless. #292494David C. Taylor Jr. November 09, 2005
This picture is actually located on the Tidal Basin not the reflecting pool. #2056622Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
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.
