This past weekend our house took a retreat to Harpers Ferry, here are a few shots from the weekend.

Easter Break
These are just a couple of shots that I took over easter while I was in Virginia Beach. I think they both work fairly well, I don't really have a favorite. They both have good qualities. I like the wideness of the second one because it shows more color variation but I like the reeds in the close up one.

The Unexpected
This is Lawyer Walter Dellinger, he represented the District of Colombia in the District of Colombia vs. Heller. The recent Supreme Court case about the gun ban in DC. Many would expect him to arrive in a nice car with a driver, but he rode his bike. I heard from another photographer that he rode his bike so after his press conference I followed him and got some very unique shots that no other photographers got.

Spring Break Repeat
Here are a few more pictures I took over spring break. I like both of them, I think I went outside the "normal" snapshot and made them a little more creative by putting the subject in the upper half and changed my vantage point to really low (I had the camera on the floor for each shot). I think it gives the shots a little something extra.

A few more...
Here are a couple of more flower shots.
I think it is really interesting how the lighting is so much different in all of the pictures. I think that is why I like them so much. Each of them is unique and holds a something a little different than all of the others.

Lighting
All of these shots were taken with long exposures. Some of them pushed 6 seconds. The lighting came from a flashlight that I was holding. The red lighting was from an exit sign that was above the table. The kitchen, where I was taking them was all black, you could not see the glow of red from the sign, however since the exposures were long the red glowed in the background.
Red glow in the back because of long exposure. To get the lighting on the flowers I moved the flashlight equally around to give ample light to the entire bouquet.

Clarence Thomas
Here are a few shots of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. It shots a few difference expressions through out the hearing I attended. The guy in the background of the third image is Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. These three pictures also involve some rules of framing, especially the rule of thirds and biggest boldest point of interest.

Bit of spring...
This is my nephew Caleb. I really like how I captured his expression with this shot. Granted, the kid is happy most of the time so it isn't the hardest thing in the world to capture, but I still think this is a successful shot. He is so happy with himself that he can clap... The perks of being an uncle... Get to take good pictures, and you give him to Mommy or Grandma when he has a stinky diaper.

John Sarbanes
One thing that I try to do at hearings is catch Senators expressions. I think I did a fairly good job of doing that in this photo. This photo shows a side of John Sarbanes, D-MD that most people don't see. He was actually looking at the clock while the chairmen of the committee was speaking, the chairmen talked for a long, long time.

Back on Capital Hill
This is Kay Granger, R-TX. I was able to be in on an interview she did for The Hill. It was a little difficult photographing, but I thought I was able to get a few successful shots. I like the first one a lot because it shows some of the interviewer. It gives it a more intimate feel because you can see both sides of the interview.
