Back Country Night Lights

Up Next

Now that "THE DISTRICT" is complete I can put a large amount of attention on my next project called "Eastern Skies".  I'll be heading back to WV for the 4th time this season for a few nights under the stars.

MLK

This was the very last shot I needed to complete the final edit of "THE DISTRICT".  I went to the MLK Memorial a few times but there wasn't enough clouds in the sky.

The District

Here is THE DISTRICT.
"The District" is a Washington D.C. based timelapse project I decided to take on since I've lived in the area my entire life and I think it has beauty and architecture that needs to be seen.

While shooting "The District" of course I ran into a few issues.  Weather is typically the most important aspect of any timelapse project but parking and tourists were the biggest speed bumps while filming from April-August.  Most major cities have high rise / skyscrapers but D.C. is very limited to the height of  buildings which makes you think more and get more creative with your shots.  You do have to map every little shot so you can execute it properly.  Most shots in "The District" were shot 2-4 separate times due to weather or bad research on my end.

A lot of people message me about permits or Park / Federal police that may have issues with me shooting.  When you have a lot of motion controlled gear set up next to monuments / parks you have to expect some attention.  I never really had any of those things.  I've run into some situations in the past but nothing major like getting arrested or ticketed.

RE-EDIT

I wasn't happy with the original edit job of this image so I went back and tweaked a few things.
