Day 1: Washington DC Blizzard of 2016

January 23, 2016 by Navin Sarma

Yesterday afternoon, I geared up in my warmest waterproof winter gear and spent 5 hours on the National Mall photographing the onset of the 2016 Blizzard nicknamed “Snowzilla”. Unless someone can offer me transport today, it looks like yesterday was my only opportunity to travel down to the city to capture the falling snow before […]

Back at It

August 12, 2015 by Navin Sarma

It’s been an eventful past several months with some pretty sweeping life changes. Some great, some bad, but such is life. While these events have taken my time and thoughts away from photography, lately I have come back around to re-evaluate my plans. I constantly ask myself questions to make sure that I am following […]

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 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 […]

First Snow of 2015 in Washington DC

January 7, 2015 by Navin Sarma

Yesterday, we had our first snowfall in the Washington, D.C. area. I for one am ALWAYS excited about the snow. Though there can be trecherous conditions and people can get hurt while driving, if people can keep as safe as possible, it really is a glorious time to be outside and enjoy the environment. Nothing […]

A Moody Set from Washington DC

January 2, 2015 by Navin Sarma

Over the past month of so, I’ve been taking a bit of pause from photography. Just now am I getting the urge to get back in the field. Before I do so, I wanted to bring forward some images I had been working off and on. I finally present this moodier set of images from […]

A Beautiful Fall Night at the U.S. Capitol

January 8, 2014 by Navin Sarma

Early in November, I set out to the U.S. Capitol to recreate a shot that has been a popular print for me: a panorama of the U.S. Capitol with peak fall foliage under gray, rainy skies. I really love the contrast of grays and fall foliage and can appreciate why this shot has been popular. […]

A Radiant Autumn Sunset at the Washington Monument and U.S. Capitol

November 6, 2013 by Navin Sarma

Tonight, I went to the U.S. Capitol to recreate a rather popular print of mine. I was never fully satisfied with it, and wanted to improve the end product. While I think I was successful in capturing the image I wanted, I also had to capture what turned out to be one of the best […]

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 […]

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 […]
