Late afternoon on Capitol Hill

I retrieved my new D850 from the shop yesterday, where they had calibrated my normally used lens with the camera. It apparently didn’t require much adjustment, but I had been having problems with focus and wanted to eliminate the lens as the cause. I had even considered buying the new VR version of the 24-70mm, but the tech at the store said, “Save yourself the $2,400 [which I can’t afford right now anyway] and spend $69 to calibrate the old one,” so I did.

Anyway, the day was so beautiful I just walked as far as I could on a bad knee around Capitol Hill to test out the camera. I think I’ve photographed all these buildings in years past, but they’re the only subjects I have around here, so am posting some of the test results in my old Capitol Hill gallery.

The tree and shadows in the bright light transform a simple architecture shot into something special.
