 We were just coming back from our cruise. We were being picked up by my mother-in-law from Washington-Dulles airpot. Well, we wound up missing our turn and instead of heading home toward Pennsylvania we had mistakenly found ourself heading south.

At the time my wife and mother-in-law were wondering if we\'d missed our turn or gone the wrong way. That\'s when I saw the Washington Monument. I was like \"I think so, because there is the Washington Monument.\"

Yup we found ourselves right smack in the middle of D.C. The WM beside us. The White House across from us. We could see the Capital. It was quite cool.

Hi Jason. Nice subject, isn't it? The trick is to find unique ways of presenting it.

This composition isn't bad, but I'm guessing the soft focus and underexposure hurt your score. I find it best to expose Washington's monuments and memorials at the lowest possible ISO and typically 4-6 seconds wide open.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three now and I'm running late, sorry.
