Three in one! Three icons most people recognize of Washington, D.C.: The Lincoln Memorial, Washington Memorial and the U.S. Capitol Building. I took this shot in front of the Netherlands Carillon (What and where is that you may ask)? It's right next to the Iwo Jima Marine Memorial which is across from D.C. in Arlington, Virginia.

With the exception of when I travel to national parks, I rarely take my Manfrotto tripod with me on my photo trips when I travel by airplane. Here's one example of where I wish I did (or at least have the IS version of the Canon 70-200 f/4 lens). I took this shot handheld at 200mm, 3200 iso and holding my breath.
