Washington DC - Last Year's First Visit


My first Visit to Washington DC - 2017




Its been a while since my last blog post, but the last 56 months it has been an intense life. No excuse, but I have been out of inspiration and motivation to post anything. I am really sorry.

During the Annual Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference, where they have changed the name to INSPIRE, I always make time for a day's visit to the host city.

This year it was Washington DC, where I have never visited it before. After the Inspire conference, I decided to do a city walkabout on the most famous spots, brought my cameras, the Fuji X70 for street photography and my trusty X-T1 together with my travel Carbon tripod from Neewer.


I divided the section into three pieces.
  1. Street Monochrome photos
  2. Street Colour Photos
  3. Night Photos

While on the conference we had to go to different places for the event and some of them were close to the main venue, so the X70 comes very handily indeed.

3. Night Shots

The last night of my stay I decided to make a night shot of the now world-famous building. I made the photo with my X-T1 and the 18-55mm "KIT" lens and the very lightweight tripod, which by the way is a fantastic travel photography companion.








NOTICE - HELP

Anyway, Some of you have been great followers, and know my story, what happened to me, my stolen gear and all.

Also, you know that my biggest joy while in Mozambique is to always give an INSTAX photo to all the young people I take photos of, just to see their happy faces, priceless, warming my heart.

My stock of FUJIFILM Instax Mini film is finishing and I need help in getting some more.

Also, you know that some of my gear was stolen (X100T, 56mm, etc...) so hobby money is very scarce after that, so I decided to try an initiative in setting up a Paypal account with a link so that anyone can send me (Donation) any amount for me to restock on INSTAX film, to keep me giving the portraits I make to the beautiful people of Mozambique. 

Its simple, simply click the below link and put the amount you wish to send me and voilá.


Much Appreciate your support on this initiative.
