    @mattblaze@federate.social This might be my favorite picture of yours that you’ve put up here so far.

    Captured with the Rodenstock 90mm/5.6 HR Digaron (@ f/7.1) and the PhaseOne IQ4-150 “Achromatic” back. 12mm of vertical shift kept the geometry in line. The sharp lens and achromatic back reveal a lot of detail zoomed in at full resolution (full res is downloadable on flickr).

    This is a very simple composition, the frame filled with the Memorial from roughly the perspective shown on the $5 bill. The National Parks Service does a superb job lighting the site.

      The Lincoln Memorial, an iconic DC tourist attraction, is crowded and bustling year round. But in the middle of the night, when it’s empty and quiet, it becomes a very different place. It’s solemn and peaceful in a way that takes you by surprise. I lingered longer than I needed to when taking this photo.

      Part of my “slightly better versions of the pictures of local attractions you might find hanging in a cheap hotel room” series.

        @mattblaze@federate.social I always have doubts about taking a photograph of something famous… there’s so many out there already and it’s hard to do anything that doesn’t feel tacky.

        @mattblaze@federate.social I was there in February 2020. I noticed the same change in the vibe as you when I went back in the daytime. I really enjoyed my visit there for seeing both sides of it.
