Ok, enough of the bee stuff...  time I posted up some pictures again.  I may do a few a day to catch up, I may not... we'll see how it goes.

I thought this first one was cool just because of the lights that were here...

I snagged that one about a week ago when I ditched out to take some night shots around DC.  Not many came out well because I didn't feel like toting around my tripod.

This next one is kind of cool because of the colors and composition, but it didn't come out like I was hoping it would...

I had my 18-55mm lens with me and took that shot at f/3.5.  I also pushed the exposure up a stop or two to get the blue color in the sky instead of just plain black.  When I took the shot, I was thinking that the 3.5 aperture would throw the monument out of focus a lot more than it actually did.  I wanted the little fountains to be crisp, but the monument and flags to be WAY out of focus.  The 18-55 just doesn't have the depth of field needed to get what I wanted...  maybe a 50mm f/1.4 would do it. ;)
