The Capital - Washington DC

After making my journey around the National Mall, I had to stop by the Capital for a final photography visit.  The clouds were beginning to thicken which made for some interesting backdrops in these pictures.

During the day, we got a large rain storm.  That's never stopped me from taking pictures before, but does change it a little bit.  This was the same view on Pennsylvania Ave of the capital that I shot at night.  

f/11, 1/200 sec, ISO 100

This is something I've been experimenting with during some night photography shoots.  I wasn't as pleased with the Capital shots that I took late at night, so I decided to get up before dawn and try again.  This was the last shot that I captured and decided it was worth the early morning!
