sitting on the dock of the potomac


Last time I brought my tripod on a photo shooting mission to Old Town and the waterfront, it poured on us. This time, my battery ran low with what would've been the best shot of the night. King Street Blues were jamming in front of an alley near the Torpedo Factory. I need to make sure my battery is fully charged when I go out from now on. Here's a long exposure, using a wall as a makeshift tripod.

step back in time


The Chesapeake & Ohio Canal was the way for freight to be shipped into the District in the 19th Century from West Virginia & Maryland. Mules tugged the boats from lock to lock, necessitating the men of the family to control the water levels. (ISO 100, f/5.6, 1/125s)
