The cherry blossoms in downtown Washington, D.C. are in full bloom! Unlike the changing leaves in the Autumn, the cherries never disappoint. They always come out with vibrant colors in a nice setting setup by the National Park Service. The only question is when exactly the blooms will pop. With the colder than normal weather this year, the peak bloom was delayed until this week.
Tidal Basin Walk
We had family and friends from out of town even make a special visit to see them. I decided to take my own photo walk this morning to get a look for myself. It is another beautiful year down at the Tidal Basin! This was my first time at the MLK Memorial too which is situated at a corner of the basin near the Lincoln Memorial, facing into basin. Since it was a weekday, I could not get to the basin very quickly with the morning traffic, so the light was not ideal. I tried my best to make some nice images with the sun higher in the sky. There were so many photographers around the basin this morning – making unique images is very tough, but I am still working on some others, but here are my favorites so far – enjoy!
This last image is one taken by my old Nikon D100 that I had converted for infrared capture by Lifepixel. I am definitely out of practice in capturing infrared images. The white balance and Photoshop conversion required to make these images view able would make a great blog post. I’m not even sure I did it correctly since it has been so long! I’ll definitely revisit these images and share more of them soon.
