Ahhh man!!! I can't rep you Those pictures are insanely beautiful!!! It really captures the artistic geometry and detailed precision of DC's architecture, skyline, and street layout.
Didn't get to most of that, unfortunately. I've been back in Texas since 7/29. Truth is, if I was still in DC, I'd still be far from having seen even all of the "tourist" stuff let alone everything else.
I was in Adams Morgan a couple nights before coming back, but it was dark, I didn't have the tripod on me (I'd come back from a day shoot in Annapolis, the results of which will be on the MD forum at some point) and it was raining. All I know is it's going to be a priority when I get back. I also rode in the car on the way to Annapolis through east DC and scouted some stuff there. When the budget allows, I'll be making my way back to your city.
I do have a couple more Washington sets to share. Still working on editing. This was part of a 19-day tour over five states and the District.

Not in camera. Just standard RAW with everything done post. My b/ws are always converted too. Maybe I've gone from under-processing to over-, but this is why I keep it as WYSIWYG as possible in camera. They all exist in "true color" as it were. I like doing what I've been doing, but some others are going to prefer it that way.
I guess it's come a long way since I was walking around the streets in Houston with a cheap point-shoot and uploading stuff straight out of that and sharing.
