I did nothing to the D300 settings, and I didn't do any post processing. It took these pictures according to the lighting in the room. Cool huh! =)

Jer wasn't that impressed. Then I said, in all the thousands of eggs you cracked while making Sausage Egg McMuffins in high school, did you EVER find two yolks in one egg? Yeah, I didn't think so! :P

Guest photoist: Jer

It was fluttering around pretty fast, but he knew how to stop action it. It's handy having a technically minded boyfriend.

edit *does anyone know what this is? it had a fat body but flew super fast, while in place, like a hummingbird. but do hummingbirds have antennae as Susan pointed out??*

edit* Ahh, Ben solved the mystery. http://www.birds-n-garden.com/hummingbird_moths.html *

Been in DC for work, managed to sneak away to do what else? Take pictures!

So many cherry blossoms! I specifically woke my ass up at 7am (while my body was still thinking it was 4am pacific) to see these famous trees.

Here are the blossoms close up.

Duck sleeping at the Reflecting Pool

Washington Monument and the NON Reflecting Pool (the Lincoln Memorial is behind me, I was on the steps to get this shot. Darn pool dude ruined my clean shot)

Arlington Memorial Bridge in the distance

Metro Station stop
And my favorites...

I manually focused this one...I wanted the background to be super blurry.

Jefferson Memorial across the Tidal Bason

I can't wait to come back here with Jer, the tripod and the remote, haha. And perhaps our zoom lens?? And macro lens?
