for the love of DC photography
In this image, Joe Flood does a great job of framing his subject. The central framing of the extended ladder draws the viewer’s eye, guiding it up the length of the building. The angle of the camera appearing closer to the ground as opposed to eye-level exaggerates the perspective of the image providing a greater sense of depth. Experimenting with one’s perspective can freshen up your artistic style and result in a satisfying visual product.
Mike Maguire does a fantastic job of manipulating light to create an abstract image where the viewer still gets a sense of the time of day and outdoor landscape. Maguire took this photograph with a 1950s Kodak Signet 40 pocket camera that he purchased on eBay for $11. This photograph just goes to show that no matter the quality of the equipment a knowledgeable photographer can still produce a quality image!
Great shot by Carol Jean Stalun of the supermoon, rising over the Potomac River on January 1, 2018! A supermoon occurs when the moon is at its closest point to our planet; this proximity presents photographers with a great opportunity to capture it on camera. Since a full moon rises at the same time that the sun sets, a photographer can capture a partially day-lit landscape and a stunning sunset/sunrise composition with the moon. To get the clearest and most crisp photograph I suggest using a sturdy tripod, a high-resolution camera, and a remote shutter release.

The log made it all this way and refused to fall. I like that about a log. Well done, John Marciano, and thanks for sharing.
Be on your way and believe that you will get there. This is what came to mind when I saw Cristina Angelica’s post on Instagram this morning. Well done, lady.
