Please CC Washington DC Area Pics

These were taken on a recent very quick 4 day vacation to Washington DC. All of these were hand held, taken with a Canon EOS XSi with either the 18-55mm kit lens or a 55-250mm EFS. They were RAW photos so they were processed for RAW, resized, and unsharp masked.

Thanks for looking.

did you use a tripod for the first one?

was the flag pole actually leaning to one side? there's a lot of extra area in some of your photos that could do to be cropped, like trees. you want to frame your subject, so people know what it is.

Nice set with 1 and 6 being the best.

No i doubt the flag pole was leaning, as im sure you know tall vertical objects tend to look like they are leaning. If i would have noticed it i probably would have cropped it to adjust for that.

Shot 1 was hand held. I think it came out pretty good for hand holding. It was shot at a focal length of 25mm f/5.6, 0.6 shutter speed, ISO.400

Which shots specifically would you have cropped more? Image 2 i probably could have cropped some of the sky out but i would have removed any of the flag.

Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks JGR.

i just mentioned it because i find it distracting. that's all. #1 definitely came out good for a hand-held shot, however i knew it was because the wording on the sign is blurry.

2, 3 and 4 could have been cropped more. too much lawn and too any trees.

is the last one supposed to be hdr?

anyways, i agree that 1 and 6 are the best. 6 being my fave.

Great series.

Yeah 6 is 3 exposures combined. Im still trying to work on getting the image to look more realistic. I have a lot to learn on all fronts as i have only had m camera about 8 months or so and have been really shooting for about 5 months.

Thanks again for your feedback.
