Photo of tombstones in the fog at Arlington Cemetery. This wasnt my favorite photo from the shoot , until I put it into black and white. The walking area between the tombstones was a greenish grass/mud mixture. The part I like most now is in the back left corner, where you can still see tombstones for a long ways.

Stunning. We've all seen so many pictures of the Arlington Cemetery, and yet this one still manages to take my breath away. A well deserved pick for the 2008 DCist.
cstein96 (53 months ago | reply)
Thanks Samer and Chip!
Satire - Thanks a lot. I was worried that this photo would be the 'cliche' DC monument pick in the competition. I had a tough time deciding whether I should include this one as a submission also: www.flickr.com/photos/cstein96/2132746006/in/ set-72157603...
I appreciate your comment!

Craig -- DCist Exposed doesn't do "cliche," it does iconic. :)

Dreadful atmosphere. Good job, but I wish there would be a bit more contrast.

great composition!
Aubrey Arenas (53 months ago | reply)
The capture is definitely one of a kind! I would have done a bit more harder contrast, and a bit of vignetting to compliment the frightening atmosphere.
