WASHINGTON DC: Monuments at Night through Glowrock's Lens!
 
To start off the first of several threads from the Washington DC area trip I just took with photoLith (thanks for the nighttime photography tips!), I present some nighttime photography of some of the most famous structures in our Nation's Capitol. Hope you enjoy!

Great photography. :cheers: They do nice lighting around those monuments, I think they look better than in the daytime... Did you see other areas?

Great pics. I have a love/hate relationship with nighttime photography. When it works, it's oh so good.

Agreed, Kevin. Nighttime photography is much more technical than daytime, at least in my opinion. I have to give props to photoLith for giving me some assistance on getting the settings right to get great shots!

Thanks for these night pictures of DC´s monuments. Very nice shots. You got it, a great night photography. US Capitol is pretty at night.

Looking forward your next threads... I hope with more night shots.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.:tup:
