On Assignment
So in the midst of this great website redesign I got going on at work, I decided to go into the city and snap some pictures. Thankfully my camera lens was fixed and returned just in time. So what a great chance to test it out to see if it works. By the end of the day, I had walked again through most of the city and came back with about 500+ photos to boot. And just as a side note: before you go snapping photos anywhere, be sure to read Scott Kelby’s book “The Digital Photography Book: Volume 2″. It’s an awesome book that’ll give you some excellent tips on how to take quality photos. Hopefully my photos will come out decently well, but right now I’ve made some considerable first steps in getting there.
Anyways, so as part of the work project, I’ve realized that we need new photos for our website and also for our image library so I took it upon myself to go out and see the sights. So I stopped by the “Walter E. Washington Convention Center” and started my excursion from there. So rather than bore you to tears about my exploits, how about I just list the spots I stopped by?
- Convention Center
- Gallery Place/Chinatown
- Marian Koshland Science Museum
- National Building Museum
- National Law Enforcement Memorial on Judiciary Square
- Old Post Office Pavilion
- National Air & Space Museum
- Tidal Basin
- Washington Monument
- World Bank
- IMF Building
- George Washington University
- Rock Creek Park
- Embassy Row
- Dupont Circle
- Gallery Place Chinatown (to catch the Metro back home)
It was a rather lengthy walk. I need to look up the total mileage that I walked and hopefully burned some calories. I wish that Google Maps has some sort of distance measurement feature that I could track my walking, but oh well…guess I’ll have to estimate it.
Anyways, I think some of my pictures came out decently well. Now I need to decide whether to go onto Flickr and pay the $25/year fee to upgrade my account so that I can continue to post my photos online. I’d like to say yes, but my Chinese side says no…the battle seems to rage on…
