Washington Photo Safari is pleased to announce that in commemoration of the nation’s 250th anniversary Freedom 250 and the National Park Service are projecting a special nighttime light display on the Washington Monument. The projections will display a sweeping visual narrative and stories showcasing America’s history, resilience, and future. The organizers say it will trace the story of the discovery, expansion, independence, and future of our nation.
To help you capture this unique light display and its reflection in the Reflecting Pool, we have organized a special photo safari that will meet at 7 – 8pm on Sunday, January 4th on the large plaza at the bottom of the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. We suggest that you bring your camera with your medium length lens, like a 24-70mm. or a 76-300 mm and a sturdy tripod.
Steadily held late model smartphones are also perfectly acceptable.
Washington Photo Safari founder and director E. David Luria will be there to help you with the correct settings, shooting on the Manual Mode and adjusting exposure and white balance to achieve the best images.
