Independence

Went for the Independence day fireworks show to the Iwo Jima Memorial which is located about 10 mins walking distance from my apartment. There was a whole mob of people there. And goodness me, so many DSLRs! I could count atleast 8 of the 70-200mm f2.8 IS ($1.6k!!) around me!! I had to prop on my 50mm for these snaps, but I'm happy with the way they came out.

 

Iwo Jima memorial is a treat for photographers because you can capture all 3 monuments, the washington monument, lincoln memorial and the Capitol, almost in a line from this great vantage point. Wasn't able to get the Lincoln memorial in this frame but trust me, you do get it!

 

Hope you guys had a great 4th July!
