Korean War Memorial

Washington, DC

This was a tough shot to try and get and I was not as successful as I would have liked. Shouild
probably have used a tripod or cranked up the ISO; however, the black granite has a lot of speckles in
it and made the image look very grainy. I wanted the soldiers that etched into the black granite to
be visible along with the soldier satutues on the grass reflecting on the granit, and do that without
any tourists in the shot. This is the only shot that comes even close to what I was trying to do.

This is great. I tried to do a similar shot but came no where near your success here.
