    Andrew was knowledgable and flexible, but we were not shooting at a great time of day or in a prime motion blur location. He offered clear instructions with hands-on assistance, and he demonstrated in addition to observing. Very good combo. Nice small group with interesting participants.

    I waked at 4:30 am and drove half hour to the D.C in that Thursday morning. Cause I know it would be a lot of people rush to the Tidal Basin during the cherry blooms' season. Luckily, there was none when I arrived. I walked around the basin, and found the place where I took this photo. Great sun rise, and cherry just began to reach the peak. All I needed to do is just push the shutter button. Another amazing spring just arrived D.C.

    Washington Monument at sunset. My son-in-law produces concerts at the Library of Congress. I bring him in early and in the meantime, I have time to walk around the capitol grounds. The clouds and color made this shot interesting, and the look varies as the sun goes down. Finishing the evening with a great concert at the Library of Congress is a great cap to a rewarding photo shoot.

    Once a month, or so, I would go into my home town of Leicester early on a Sunday morning to take some photos before there were too many people around. This particular morning there was light rain and the sun was trying to break through. The scene was great but the sky was uninspiring so a better sky was added and then processed in DXO's NIK Silver Efex.The camera was my trusty Ricoh GRIII which has a great lens and small enough to put in your pocket.
