I had the good fortune to be hired by the Capitol Riverfront BID to photograph their annual meeting this year on Jan 12. As a person who lives and works in the neighborhood it was a fascinating series of presentations that I was happy to be there for. From what was presented in the Green Line Study it sounds like the area is poised for some significant growth going forward.

Framed by the trash transfer plant on the left and Capitol Hill Tower on the right the Capitol Quarter town homes are now nearly completely built out. The construction in teh middle is the northern most block of the new Canal Park which will open later in 2012. The flag flying highly in the background is at the Marine Corps Barracks at 8th and I St SE.... And of course the SE-SW Expressway is right at rooftop height for the new townhomes.

The D700 has amazing dynamic range... This was the shot I was going for from across the crowded presentation room but I didn't fully succeed in camera. Once in LR4 beta I brought out the highlights a bit and adjusted the contrast and was thrilled how much detail including the overcast sky and the houses on the horizon came in nicely. There is even some decent detail and in the silhouette area.

The building framed by the window is the 909 NJ Ave SE apartment, with its very identifieable penthouse like structure that is lit up with blue neon at night.

This policeman was silhouetted perfectly against the capitol... I was pretty excited to grab this one.
