More dance photography is on the schedule for me today. I will be covering the Salsa – Bachata Throwdown this evening in Rockville, Maryland. There are workshops during the day, and performances at night. Judging from the Facebook posts leading up to the event, this should be a fun event to photograph. On this occasion, Kat Arias invited me to cover this event. As can be seen in these photos, she has hired me to photograph events for her previously. Additionally, she asked me to make photos of her and her dancers in the studio. The following are from a session at Union 206 Studio.

Tonight is a showcase of Salsa – Bachata experts in the DC area. Being that this is a popular style, this should be an enthusiastic crowd tonight. Of course I hope to see some familiar faces. In any case, I am sure to pick up more than a few new moves! Check back here for some of my favorites as I edit them next week! Here are some from a studio shoot with some of the dancers that will be there tonight. Enjoy!

Thanks especially to all of you that have visited and ordered prints and digital downloads of your favorites – we really appreciate your support of our photography. It makes it possible for us to strive for better images at the next event. I also would like to thank the studio managers and teachers who are always so helpful in getting us situated at the venues. It is much more difficult than just showing up and pressing a shutter button to get these photos. We are grateful for the assistance! Here are some of my favorites from the event – have a great weekend!

Cherry Blossom photo walk

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.
