Sunrise At The Lincoln Memorial
About 10 minutes after I took the previous shot, I flew back down the Roosevelt Island Bridge, found parking, and dashed up to the Lincoln Memorial where I spent another half hour or so shooting. I wasn't planning on shooting from inside the memorial as I thought there just wasn't enough light to shoot without the tripod (I was told by a very polite park officer that tripods were not allowed inside) but I ventured in anyway and was preparing to shoot Lincoln (that doesn't sound quite right) staring down at me when I noticed another photographer shooting back towards the entrance. I turned around and immediately knew that I wanted a shot looking back towards the Washington Memorial. This was obviously handheld, so I had to crank up the ISO. (F16, ISO 1000, 5 frame bracket +2/-2 with the Nikkor 14-24, 2.8.)
I took more than a few shots from the mall area before the nice morning light disappeared.
