Woodbridge, Virginia

Being that we are in the middle of summer fun, I wanted to look back to a pre – quarantine event with Freedom Boat Club. On this occasion, George from my business networking group invited us on an evening cruise on the Occoquan River. I was very familiar with these waters since my mom has a house right on these shores.

Since George works for Freedom Boat Club, we were taken for an evening cruise just out of their marina. Having a membership in his company gives you access to their fleet of boats. What a great way to entertain clients, or treat friends to a unique experience!

If George wanted to pick a perfect day for a demonstration, this was it. Not only did the summer heat go away as we were speeding out on the waters, but the sunset was amazing. I took some time from networking to get lots of photos of the sunset. It doesn’t look like Woodbridge from out here!

Quarantine 4 – Water Long Exposure

During our daily walk, I wanted to test water long exposure images since we have a large creek in the neighborhood. In addition to practicing, this more casual photography helps my planning and pre-visualizing skills. When I made some images low to a running creek, I started planning on another shoot with different gear and conditions.

In the light of this first example, I knew that I was there at the wrong time. Now that there was some strong sunlight coming through the trees, it would be difficult to get a long exposure of the flowing water. To get what I needed I would have to come back on a different day. Specifically, I would need a time when the light was not as strong. With this in mind, I waited until an overcast / rainy day to try again.

Subsequently, I brought out the tripod and planned to set it with longer exposures in mind. For what I was planning hand-holding the camera would not be an option. For these, I think it was successful. However, I already have some ideas to make them even better. Just waiting for another rainy day!

Washington Dulles International Airport

Last year, I photographed an airport birthday! By all means this was the most unique venue where I have attended a celebration. If I had known this was at all a possibility, I would have asked my parents for this every year!

On this occasion, the airport made lots of areas accessible to the event guests. Firstly, we met at a conference room where food, drink and birthday cake were served. While we were there, a representative from the airport gave us a nice presentation on the details of the facility. Afterwards, we started a tour of the airport. As can be seen, the highlight of the tour was viewing planes arriving on the runway from a spot next to the runway! Thanks to Julie and her parents for inviting us to her awesome birthday celebration – it is one to remember!
