Some shots from the cathedral... I took three different exposures of the stained glass moon window, and I posted the three because I think the differences are really interesting. Probably the brightest one is the more correct exposure, but I like the darker ones even though some of the detail is lost, because it makes it look like you're really looking through a window to the stars.




And some of the tiny distant sculptures high up and far from view...




And some miscellaneous things that caught my eye...








And here's what happens when I spend too much time playing in the digital darkroom...I get a little carried away...so first pic is normal and second is what would have happened if I had taken sketch pad and pastels instead of a camera

Washington National Cathedral, March 27, 2015

The trip to the Cathedral was what I would call an urban landscape event.  The weather, once again, dictated our choices.  Great venue and challenges.  Beautiful!













Botanical Gardens Shoot

I shot these pictures during our class excursion to the Botanical Gardens.  Weather was not cooperating!
