The date- April 9, the time 11am at Union Station.

After lunch we will meander our way through Chinatown, down to the National Mall, and then around towards the Tidal Basin. Detours to the WW2 Memorial, and Monument Triangle area possible. The high point event- Sunset at Ye Olde Tidal Basin.

Bring yer tripods boys and girls. :)

Clara,
I might be able to make the 9th. I plan on going down the 8th, but if it rains on me, I'll be down on the 9th regardless. Please PM me your Cell Phone, so I can try to catch up with you guys. I won't be able to do lunch, but hopefully I can locate you guys if I'm down.

Thanks,
David

We look right on schedule for the weekend guys! Hope like heck that the t-storm predicted tomorrow can't do much damage.

Weather for Saturday should be cool (59) and partly sunny. It should be an awesome day! Remember- meeting is gonna be 11am at Union Station. We'll meet up near B.Daltons, by the revolving doors.

If you think you would like to meet up with us, PM nova. He's got the contact info, and my cell number. I'm working crazy insane hours this week and may not be easy to reach. So just drop Mini Me a note. ;)

3 more days!

Okay, so here I am at 12:30 in the morning preping for tomorrow and catching up on household chores that I seemed to have procastinated on. My thinking.. Crap, I'm still stuck with my Sony F707, I need to move up in the world.

It's all good, as I am in rare form tonight and I am actually speaking. I will be there tomorrow if it kills me, I'll explain when I see ya'll

I went down on Wed. to the basin to look for a few shooting spots, plan is to go down around 6:00 for sunrise and shoot the horizon over Jeff. mem.

Oh yeah.. and bad news.. I will have to take off around 1 or 2. I may be able to extend it a little longer, but I need to be back at home before 3:30. I'll shut up now.. Goodnight all

well, it was a GREAT day, a great outing, great weather, and great company! more details to follow, i'm sure, but for now, i am busted.
04/10/2005 12:09:54 AM · #89
I can't believe you made it back before we did. Then again, I think we broke Drew and Langdon.



Good god, that was a long day. More in the AM. Or, later in the AM.

What a great outing! Exhausting, but great fun. The weather was absolutely perfect, the cherry blossoms were everywhere (as were the people), but best of all was getting to meet a great bunch of DPC regulars. Thanks guys for an unforgettable day. -Ray

Well, I got back last night, and was going to post, but I figured without some pictures... people would kill me. Well anyway... no pictures yet.. processing RAW takes a while.. and I am lazy...
I will post some asap!
By the way, awesome trip! Everyone was great!

I had a great time, and the best part was meeting new people and seeing some friends I had already met before. A few images from the weekend...

Posting more after finding time to edit:



...and this (one I was very pleased with) was posted earlier but didn't get the clicks I had hoped for. Guessing the reason is that the thumbnail doesn't look like much, or maybe it was just the time of day. Asking for a second chance :0)

Here's a few more from me:
