Last week, I photographed the 2017 Legislative Breakfast produced by the Tysons Chamber at the Tower Club. Since the Virginia legislative session has ended, the panel and speakers gave updates on the bills and budgets passed. Especially for this crowd, the ones that impacted businesses in Fairfax and Tysons were the focus.

Since I was not very familiar with how these sessions worked, I appreciated the overview. Not only did they tell of some of their plans for the future, the panelists encouraged participation. On this occasion there was time to get in front of VIPs in attendance. Dr. Gerry Gordon from the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority was the moderator for the event. Supervisor John Foust, State Senator Janet Howell, Congressman Gerry Connolly, and State Delegate Mark Keam spoke on a panel. Undoubtedly this kind of representation is important for the Chamber. Having this caliber of speakers as a result allows business owners in Tysons some access to our most powerful policy makers.

Similarly to last week’s post about exterior photos, I found some 2016 Tysons Interior images that I wanted to add to the blog. In this situation, it was more important to have many people in the frame. Since these were supposed to illustrate many people seeing advertisements, I waited for the right time for each of these.

With attention to getting a large number of people in the frame, I made my chances better by going on Saturday. Late morning to after lunch is what I tried on this occasion. Overall, a tripod was necessary for all of these photos. I prefer a 1/15th of a second for this purpose. You can still see the forms of people, however, they are usually blurred. Thus, you cannot identify them by their faces making them appropriate for use publicly. Surely patience is needed to get just the right amount of people filling in the spaces in the frame. It easily makes this the place where you want to be on the weekend!

Last year, the marketing team at Macerich requested that I make some 2016 Tysons exterior photos of the mall. Unlike event photos at the center, have a large crowd was not an emphasis for these. The images would be used for directories chiefly, so identifiable structures would be the goal. Additionally, the images are planned to be used for an app guiding visitors through Tysons.

On this occasion, I was enthusiastic to do this assignment. The biggest challenge was going whenever the weather and the conditions outside were right. Specifically, I was looking for some interesting clouds. For the most part, last summer was good weather-wise, but cooperating clouds were rarer.

As can be seen in the Plaza photos, I caught some great clouds one July evening. Not only were the clouds interesting, but they made for some nice purple and blue colors in the sky! Hopefully you will catch these images on a directory or app at your next visit to Tysons.
