Carousel

I took a walk this evening for some exercise and photo ops. [Edited: Along the National Mall, that's not a shopping center! From the Supreme Court to the Lincoln Memorial. This carousel is in front of the Smithsonian Castle, but to the right looking at the Castle.] I liked the look of this when I clicked "colorize" while trying to adjust the colors manually. After this I saw the sun set behind the Washington Monument. Then discovered that the World War II Memorial is almost finished, the fountains are on. And finally watched the tourists at the Lincoln Memorial.

Excellent! I like the sepia type effect you've given the photo - almost reminiscent of childhood?!

Nicely framed.

Your pictures are really pulling me down to DC! I've lived up here in northern MD all my life and have never done the "tourist" stuff in DC. For shame! I know ;-) This is a great image, by the way.

where's this?? I don't remember it . .in a mall somewhere? Crystal City? Pentagon City?
I need to come back & re-visit everything . .

I like this a lot. Especially the monochrome tones. Has a movement to it as well.

Well done! I guess it really pays to horse 'a round' .... lol

NICE!! Very cool shot, and I like the treatment!!
Guest 18-Apr-2004 03:55
The tone really gives it a nice aged feel.

Carousels are wonderful subjects. There's one in St. Augustine, FL, right outside the public library that people can ride for a dollar. Dramatic presentation.

well you had a full day. This is a nice photo. I like it in B&W

Great shot Mark! I love the tones here.... I have a feeling - soon it's going to say "Nikon DX" instead of "Nikon 3100" :)
