Lisa's note. I am NOT a morning person, 10am is early for me, BUT for these kinds of shots the pay off is well worth it -- the light and the paucity of people makes these photo ops unique at that hour. DC in the wee hours of the morning is especially beautiful.
Lincoln Bicentennial: the Lincoln Memorial at Dawn (February 14)
To register go to www.WashingtonPhotoSafari.com
Like to get up REAL early? Good! The very best time of day to photograph the Lincoln Memorial is at dawn, when the rising sun paints the memorial in a golden light, and the sun is low enough to penetrate the roofline and light up Mr. Lincoln's statue.In honor of the 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial, we are conducting this workshop that teaches amateur photographers how to capture the early morning light on the building and the statue, and how to frame the view of the rising sun in the columns of the Lincoln Memorial.Working without flash or tripods, participants will be taught techniques of exposure, composition, lighting and color filtration to get the most dramatic photographs of this beautiful national treasure.
The early morning light also looks great on the nearby Reflecting Pool, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Women's' Memorial, and the friendly Albert Einstein Memorial.
