Air Force Memorial Photography

March 30, 2015 by Navin Sarma

Here’s a recent set of images I made from the Air Force Memorial. Not only is it marvellously grand in person, it is also a wonderfully photogenic structure. At wide angles, one can capture the great expanse to the sky and can create interesting shapes with the different angles of the Memorial’s dramatically curved spires. The sheen […]

Sunrise Panoramic at the Tidal Basin

March 23, 2015 by Navin Sarma

I find myself always moving to a panoramic when I shoot at this side of the Tidal Basin (near the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial and Martin Luther King Memorial). In contrast to my last image, this was slightly later in the morning just after the sun had risen. The brighter and more direct sunlight turned […]

Sunrise at the Tidal Basin

March 20, 2015 by Navin Sarma

Sunrise at the Tidal Basin offers many opportunities for a landscape photographer. For one, one encounters a very nice perspective when facing due east, where the sun and moon rise and color in the sky would appear on days when weather will allow it. Also, it provides a very nice view towards the Jefferson Memorial […]

Sunrise at the World War II Memorial

August 9, 2014 by Navin Sarma

in my summer bootcamp 2014. During these classes, I teach people how to shoot in the field and edit in photoshop. Today’s class was centered on HDR, or high dynamic range photography. We discussed when to use HDR, and how it can be done well. Generally, HDR is not always needed, but when a camera […]

Sunrise on MLK Day at the Martin Luther King Memorial

January 20, 2014 by Navin Sarma

This morning, I visited the Martin Luther King Memorial in Washington DC to celebrate Martin Luther King in remembrance of Martin Luther King, Jr. The Tidal Basin was filled with photographers and videographers from local and national TV stations. When I arrived just before sunset, everyone was turned east to watch the sunrise over the […]

The Eastern Sierras, Part 1: Mono Lake

September 6, 2013 by Navin Sarma

In early August, I traveled out west for a good friend’s wedding in San Diego. Given I am rarely on the west coast, I took this trip as an opportunity to explore a region of our country that I hadn’t previously. My first thought was to search for any interesting locations within driving distance of […]

Orange and Pink Sunrise at the Tidal Basin

March 25, 2013 by Navin Sarma

Yesterday, I hosted another workshop, with the plan to shoot the Cherry Blossoms on the Tidal Basin. While the Cherry Blossoms at the Tidal Basin have not yet bloomed at all (NPS has shifted their peak Cherry Blossom bloom for Washington D.C. and the Cherry Blossom Festival to 3-6 April), we still got together to […]
