Washington DC - Downtown

A beautiful Spring day in downtown Washington DC

Presbyterian Church on New York Ave

This April the family traveled to Washington, D.C. for Spring Break. We enjoyed absolutely gorgeous Spring weather while we explored the city and its many museums and monuments. According to the Fitbit, we covered approximately 20 miles in our three and a half day visit that included the National Mall, the National Archives, the Smithsonian's Natural History and Air & Space Museum, the National Zoo, the Steven Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles Airport, the International Spy Museum, and many other sites and sounds along the way.

For the trip, I brought along the Fuji X100s and a couple of 32GB flash cards amassing just shy of 1000 images throughout the week. All the photographs were shot handheld and often times in very challenging lighting conditions. I primarily shot at F2.8 and F4.0 indoors, while stopping down to F8.0 and F11.0 on occasion when outdoors. 

This is the second post consisting of images taken in downtown Washington D.C. as we made our way from one location to another.

Thanks for stopping by today!
