A bike rally on the Mall. Looked interesting. 70-300, 210mm, f/8, 1/640sec
A chrome plated tree, or so it looked. Any 50 is sharp at f/16. 50, 1/640@f/16
Another view of that chrome tree. 50, 1/800@f/13
Clock tower. 70-300. 300mm, f/11@1/1000
Some of the unofficial entertainment on the Mall. This black musician was unusual, performing with a white mask on. It looked uncomfortable! He was a pretty good drummer, but his amplifier was ear splitting. 70-300, 70mm. 1/400@f/10.
The Washington monument, with some nice clouds to set it off. 70-300, 170mm. 1/1250@f/13.
The coral reef aquarium at the Smithsonian. Those are live fish swimming towards you! 50mm, 1/125@f/5.
Here's the Spirit of St Louis, with the engine cowling removed. 50mm 1/50@f/2.8
What's a museum without it's T Rex skeleton? The rest of the dinosaur exibit was undergoing renovation, but they decided to cobble a few dinosaurs together to keep the public happy. Thus the unfinished appearence. 50mm 1/40@f/2.5
Waiting for the subway. 50mm, 1/15@f/1.8
Note: I've started to shoot in raw format. While these jpegs are nice and sharp, the raw images are sharper still, but not by much.
