Behind The Lens
Location
I was in Washington DC with my best friend for a girls weekend, and we were walking to the White House. I happened to look down an alleyway near the the White House and got the perfect shot of the Washington Monument!Time
This was taken mid morning, probably around 10ish. I remember it was the beginning of April, so it was still kind of cool in the mornings and the chill in the air was just starting to burn off.Lighting
It was a beautiful day, hardly any clouds in the sky, so I got lucky on the lighting!Equipment
I took this with my Iphone cameraInspiration
I really didn't realize what I had in this shot until after I took it. I saw the movement of the flags and the majesty of Washington Monument and I wanted to capture the overwhelming feeling of awe I was experiencing at being in DC for the first time, in the middle of all of the history.Editing

I'm a simple photographer that gets lucky every now and again. I carry my Iphone and that's it.Feedback
Find the magic in the ordinary and everyday objects and just keep trying. You never know when you're going to capture that magic moment.
