Thomas Jefferson Memorial

Washington, DC

*** Best view at original size ***

Another early morning shot catching this memorial devoid of people. I did clone out a
temporary sign on the left hand side that was a bit distracting. There actually was a police
officer walking around and I had to time these shots as he passed behind one of the columns.
This is a merge of two exposures for HDR. Cropped for pano comp.

This is nice too, but after seeing your fish eye interpretation, it will be hard to look at it any other way. ~V~

Dramatic composition. Great exposure. v

I agree with Helen, this is unusal to see without the dome showing. Nice clarity and light and POV. V

A very unusual and moody capture of the Jefferson Memorial without the dome visible. Excellent light, looking almost like moonlight. V.

Definitely one of the best I've seen of the Jefferson Memorial. I like the moodiness of the deserted memorial and the lighting. "V"

yes...very eerie....for some reason this reminds me of a scene from an FPS computer game....V

Superb in 'original'. Thanks for getting up so early to capture this magical lighting.

Very effective crop and a beautiful photo. I like the darker time of day on this, much more unique, a moody quality.

It is a little eerie looking, Sam, and I love it!
globalgadabout03-Oct-2013 04:16
it looks almost ghostly in the eerie light...captivating image...V
