Spring Tulips and Full Moon on the Washington DC Skyline and Netherlands Carillion

May 6, 2015 by Navin Sarma

After an extended period away from teaching due to the birth of our first child, I resumed photography workshops in Washington DC this past Sunday. I conducted the workshop at the Netherlands Carillion in Arlington, where in the spring time there is a grand showing of tulips facing the Washington DC Skyline, including the Lincoln […]

Sunrise on the Tidal Basin

August 19, 2014 by Navin Sarma

This morning, I hosted a private workshop on the Tidal Basin. We went to one of my favorite spots, the Kutz Bridge, for sunrise. I constantly find myself enamored (at least for now) with the way sunrise light plays with ripples in the water; I like this effect much more than long exposures that smooth […]

Summer Sunrise on the Tidal Basin

August 17, 2014 by Navin Sarma

On Saturday morning, I led another Washington DC Photography Workshop, this time on the tidal basin. The concentration for this session was panoramas. Panoramas are tough to pull off well, in my opinion. The key to an effective panorama is to have interesting elements placed horizontally and avoid large uninteresting areas of the frame, which […]

Puerto Rico for the Weekend!

August 7, 2014 by Navin Sarma

This past weekend, my wife and I took a last-minute trip down to Puerto Rico. We found a pretty good deal from DC: a direct flight, a rental car, and a package discount to stay on the northeast corner of the island, a beautiful cliffside resort in Fajardo. We had it all figured out and […]

Air Force Memorial at Night

August 1, 2014 by Navin Sarma

I went back to my stomping grounds, the Air Force Memorial, last night. I continued on assignment for the Air Force Memorial and captured a few projects that I will unveil soon. The Air Force Memorial remains one of the coolest “undiscovered” memorials within the Washington, D.C. area. Three giant stainless steel spires shoot brazenly […]

Mid-day Shooting at Great Falls National Park Maryland

July 27, 2014 by Navin Sarma

Today I conducted another photography workshop as part of my Washington DC photography summer bootcamp, this time at Great Falls Par on the Maryland side. The topic is something that is hard for every photographer: shooting during mid-day sun. We discussed a number of topics, including how to deal with harsh light and shadow, and […]

Changing Light during Sunset Photography Class in Washington DC

July 14, 2014 by Navin Sarma

Yesterday, I kicked off my summer bootcamp of 16 washington dc landscape and nature photography classes at the Iwo Jima Memorial (otherwise known as the U.S. Marine Corps Memorial). We had a great group of motivated participants and after a slightly uneventful afternoon of light, were treated again by the post-sunset city glow that graces […]

Sunset at the Lit Washington Monument

September 16, 2013 by Navin Sarma

Tonight, I hosted another Introduction to Landscape and Nature Photography class in Washington, D.C. This time, at the newly lit Washington Monument. The weather was perfect — mid 70s and high clouds. Everything looked perfect for a brilliant sunset. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the color stayed a muted blue. Right when I […]
