This is the video I made of my trip to Washington, DC.  i realize that watching a home movie of someone else’s vacation is probably not very high on anyone’s priority list but I posted this more as a demonstration.  Being the Apple fan boy that I am, I put this whole video together using iMovie on the iPad 2.  It’s rather impressive what you can do with the iPad, especially with an App that cost $4.99. 

I love my 50mm f/1.4

I know there are tons of pictures like this of the cherry blossoms but I don’t care.  It was very cool being there.

I’m still in the process of editing and organizing all the photos I took in DC but I wanted to post this one.  I decided to take advantage of the cloudy day and make this photo a little more dramatic then it was originally.  I used Nik’s HDR software to do some tone compression and make it black and white.  I think it’s pretty cool.
