Tysons Corner Center

Since we are starting Fall, I wanted to post about the 2019 3rd Quarter Media posted in and around Tysons Corner Center. Similarly to earlier in the year, it is nice to highlight some of the changes that keeps the mall a vibrant and effective showcase area. Since it is harder to plan, the outside photos of the pylon signs I was happy to make. The Route 7 specifically had a sunset shining through the space behind the sign and through the trees nicely. For photography geeks, having a really small aperture will create the nice rays from the sun.

Inside, the mall were new hanging and digital banners. Since Halloween is coming soon, the signs for American Scream projected very nicely on the digital board. Having the contrast between the dark background and the light text really made this one pop out especially from farther away. Fanta also had a digital tie-in with codes printed on their face. When you pointed your smartphone at the ad, they would come to life with more dynamic content! Surely this shows what it possible with handheld technology. Perhaps this would be something that photographers could take advantage of with all of their images!

Urbanspace, Tysons Galleria

Last week I photographed a Tysons Partnership charette at the Urbanspace in the Galleria. Next year, they are marking 10 years since their creation with attention to making Tysons the next great city. Although I have only been covering close to 3 years of their events, I think they do a phenomenal job at this. Especially considering the different entities that attend their events, they foster so many important conversations.

The Urbanspace at the Galleria has enormous west-facing windows. As a photo studio, this is ideal! Whenever anyone asks me for photo tips for faces, the first thing I tell them is to look for open shade. Similarly to the fire station for the Shoes4Kids lunches, this space gives the same quality of light. With the large daylight streaming in, and a tall ceiling above, you can find nice light on the face. Additionally, the interior will fall darker and make faces pop out of the frame. Easy photographing, easy editing – enjoy!

Although there were close to 500 heats over the weekend, there was a nice variety of events danced. Firstly, Friday had the smooth heats for most of the afternoon. Following those heats, they had some variety dances and the club dance events. To clarify these were dances that are not traditionally added to every program. West Coast Swing, Bachata, Salsa, and Hustle were in the variety categories. Following these heats, some dancers may be adding some dances to their programs!

On Saturday afternoon, the growing popularity of Arthur’s Kids brought young ones out to the dance floor. When the kids went out on the floor everyone admired their poise! Since most people in the ballroom had a turn out there, they know how much nerve it takes to get out there. For this reason, they were encouraging to the kids that likewise went out there. Finally the pro-am part of the event ended with rhythm heats. Such a busy weekend!
