I participated in a photo tour last night to photograph four of our national monuments; the Lincoln Memorial, Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, Korean War Veterans Memorial, and the World War II Memorial. Although I photographed the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument at night last November (see November 6th post), I wanted to see how much my night photography and post editing skills had improved, and practicing and honing your craft is always a good thing, right? This was also an opportunity to photograph two additional monuments.
I was able to capture great photos, except at the Korean War Veterans memorial; the lighting conditions were not good at all. I’m including only one from that location- the best of the lot. I’m really happy with how the images from the World War II Memorial turned out, as the conditions were great!

The World War II Memorial, where every state is represented by a column and wreath

I love how the light reflects off the water
This image reflects how perfect the conditions were
