Lincoln
The Lincoln Memorial is an American memorial built to honor the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. It is located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The architect was Henry Bacon, the sculptor of the main statue (Abraham Lincoln, 1920) was Daniel Chester French, and the painter of the interior murals was Jules Guerin. It is one of several monuments built to honor an American president.
It was taken in early morning(5:30am) and there is no any visitor.
林肯纪念堂（Lincoln Memorial），被视为美国永恒的塑像及华盛顿市标志，为纪念美国第十六届总统亚伯拉罕·林肯而建。纪念堂位于在华盛顿的国家大草坪西端，碧波如染的波托马克河东岸上，是一座用通体洁白的花岗岩和大理石建造的古希腊神殿式纪念堂。
纪念堂于1914年破土动工，完成于1922年。纪念堂气氛庄严，鼓舞人心，每天更有不少游客和学生乘车来此参观。已故总统林肯是最受尊敬的美国总统之一，人民不会忘记他对美国作出的贡献──解放奴隶和维护美国统一。

I love this quote by Abraham Lincoln and the Irony of it for he has became arguably the most popular president at the National Mall. The Lincoln memorial is so crowded during the day that it was almost impossible to shoot during the day. After an unsuccessful attempt to shoot the building in the evening I returned the next day early morning around 5AM to shoot this image. These were the first rays of the day illuminating the statue brilliantly and I framed them between the giant columns of the memorial and I only had to deal with a bunch of slightly drunk hipsters in the morning…

I took this picture while I went for walking along the Walden Pond in Concord, MA. The sunlight was tricky that day and I really had a hard time getting the fading fall colors to lit up under sunlight. The light only lasted for a couple of minuted for me to get the trees correctly exposed and the sun was hidden by the clouds soon. I didn't even thin I would post it in Flickr.
I was really happy with the picture when I saw it on my laptop and notice some sparkly white dots on the lake bed which looks like white colored pebbles. Maybe the quote is right, there's real magic in the water.

This is hands down my fave shot from this DC trip. It was taken at the Lincoln memorial with the Washington memorial smack in the middle framed by the giant marble columns as the morning sun lit up the national mall. The composition came by accident as I went inside to get a shot of Lincoln being illuminated by the morning rays and while waiting thought this will be a cool shot in the meantime. It was a little challenging to expose as the interior was still dark and the outside was really bright.
The exposure was for about 1/200th of a second with an f8 aperture at 12mm. and just as I finished here and was putting my camera away a guy ran up the steps and did a rocky routine, unfortunately a soon as he saw me ran away from there. I wish I hand put away my camera as I think that would have been a killer shot..

I was walking up the stairs weaving through a bunch of people and just as I reached the top step I put my tripod down for this shot. This random guy...
All I could think about when I was taking this shot was how that patch of ice and snow got there. The pavilion is covered, it can't be fallen snow. ...
