A little patience resulted in this great photo by Flickr user epmd. He says the first night he shot this colorful playground in the evening, nothing was to his satisfaction, so, undeterred, he went out again a few nights later and came back with this wonderfully exposed shot. EXIF. This is your last reminder to join us at the DCist Photographer’s Meet Up this Sunday. Epmd, moderator of the Washington DC/Metro Area Flickr pool,…
Flickr user philliefan_99 has become our resident birder, catching some amazing views of our local eagles, ospreys, and herons — like this gorgeous one taking a dip off Roosevelt Island. The questioning pose of the great water bird and the awesome green reflecting off the water make for a spot-on nature shot. EXIF. Philliefan_99 was at our last DCist Photographer’s Meet-Up; will you be at our next one? Join us at Solly’s at the…
Nicknamed “Waves and Gulls,” the Navy-Marine Memorial on Columbia Island is probably among the least photographed monuments in D.C. Flickr user Leica Mark makes up for it with this technically and artistically fantastic shot of it with his, of course, Leica M7. In fact, he has a whole series of amazing monument shots that seriously put to shame what’s out there displaying our city to the rest of the world. Don’t forget, we’re hosting…
We like our animal photos with a gallon of ‘cute’ and just a dash of ‘omg ew.’ Flickr user static-photo’s perfectly timed capture of this cow’s enormous schnozz as it tries to snack on his camera up in Frederick, Md. fits the bill. The wee beady eyes just peeking out from behind make the photo. Now someone go get a napkin already. EXIF. Get your cameras ready, folks, because it’s time for another DCist…
There were so many big events going on this weekend and it looks like our photographers covered all the bases. You could have dived into some amazing colors at the Caribbean Festival like Flickr user yolamak, or filled up on delicious meat dishes at the Safeway BBQ Festival, or taken a break from the sun on Sunday afternoon to join the DCist Photographer’s Meet-Up. What did you do this gorgeous weekend? EXIF….
How about something a little different today? Flickr user rockcreek has been posting these images from around Washington, D.C., taken mostly between 1900-1910, including this one of some boys drinking from an old water pump in 1903. The whole set is fascinating, like a “new” house on V Street NW for sale for $4000, an 1884 map of Dupont Circle, or even a chain gang working in Potter’s Field. And speaking of getting together…
