West side of the Wheeling Suspension Bridge. I noticed this effect in Lightroom when traversing the photos from this night’s shoot and thought it would make a good animated gif. Hope you like it.
Thanks to @matthewdlyons for the Elements tip to create this.

Sherri and I went to see Avatar in 3-d at an IMAX theater in Alexandria only to find that it was sold out until Monday. We ended up in Old Town playing dominos at Starbucks. Before we left we braved the frigid temps to take a peek at the waterfront. This moonlight was coming from this year’s Blue Moon.
This was taken hand held with a 50mm 1.4 lens. Processed on my new ASUS Eee netbook in Lightroom. I do not have all my plugins and add-ons loaded yet so there was no noise reduction ran against this image.

This weekend Sherri and I took a trip west to visit Long Branch Historic House and Farm. Our intention was to get more information on the upcoming Shenandoah Valley Hot Air Balloon and Wine Festival. Our PhotowalkDC group is planning to attend this event next month.
We met with Tom Dunning, their Program Director, who gave us the information we were after and also gave us a very impressive tour of the main house. If you haven’t visited there you should just to walk through the 1811 built house.
The 400 acre farm offers 14 miles of four board fencing, streams, automatic waterers, run-in sheds and quality hay. The farm also serves as a horse retirement facility with as many as 85 equine residing at the estate.
