Wow, that brings back memories! For a few years, I had a nice corner office that overlooked that monument. Got to see it every single day I was in and it wasn't foggy- foggy days sucked, that's near the flight path into National and the buildings would quake when a jet came in. The URL is interesting- are you selling the Iwo Jima monument on Craigslist? ;)

Took the camera to my workout session this morning and grabbed some shots of our kettlebells.

omg. i just shuddered at that picture. good shot, but more b/c of the kettlebells :) some wickedly hard exercises to be done using those :)

the next time, try kneeling or laying down to snap a pic through their rings. that might turn out neat as well.

thanks for sharing.

This is actually a replica of the one in DC. This one is located in Fall River, Mass. Also I just put the picture in that folder cause im too lazy to make another folder.

It's the atrium near wear I work. It was taken for an online assignment "Unusual point of view." Of course, I had to take off auto rotate! Thanks for the comments!

here is another HDR from that day, this one I liked because of the rays of sun in the upper left and the massive amount of detail in the furniture and walls, but its a bit overdone in my part. Also a big amount of chromatic aberration in the middle on that coffee table.

still learning, only had my camera a month now, so lots of time to learn and play. =D

thanks for the replies guys

this is pretty cool... I am totally all about experimentation. I like these and this one more than the other. was this your house?
 
Looking for some CC with this one. This is a building I can see from my balcony... I've never tried Architecture photos but i thought what the heck haha I had to try my new XTi with my sigma 70-300...

Ha, yeah it was another tough one this morning: squat presses, hip tosses, double clean presses...ugh

Great suggestion on shooting through the handles - I'll definitely give it a try!
