Cherry Blossom Festival


CherryblossomsHDR, originally uploaded by weatherlyh.

So this weekend I bought a new camera! (see post below) I'm very excited about it because my last camera has been nothing short of a thorn in my side. In celebration, John Mark and I went down to the Jefferson Memorial to take pictures (of course)! We came home and made our first HDR image. It's a combination of multiple images at different exposures (plain speak: light, medium and dark of the same picture morphed together). Anyway, I posted it onto flickr to get some feedback from the people who are much more familiar with it so hopefully I can become better at the technique!

We were also able to shoot a few pics at the Jefferson Memorial itself. Here are a few (unedited) pics. I hope to go back some time this week to get day shots of the cherry blossoms. Enjoy!
