Dedication

This book is dedicated with love and gratitude to Roger Dehnel. Without his bike-pedaling and pen-wielding skills, it would never have come to be .

Acknowledgments

The book you are reading is the result of the collaborative efforts, talents, and contributions of many people. I am extremely indebted to the generosity and hospitality of Courtney Lodico and Laura Saba, proprietors of The Woodley Park and Embassy Circle Guest Houses. Their warmly embracing demeanors, excellent photo-op suggestions, and bountiful dinners inspired and energized me. I also could not have produced the photography in this book without the liberal support of Chris Butcher, Anthony Herfort, and all the folks at Penn Camera in Washington, DC. I thank Nancy Regg of Rolling Thunder, Inc., Tom Bell of the DC Guesthouse, Jenny Reisner of the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum, and Celia Lourens of the National Aquarium. I am grateful to Michael Stevenson and Roger Dehnel for their insightful suggestions in the picture-editing process.

I am especially appreciative to Amadou Diallo for introducing me to Kevin Harreld at Course Technology PTR. I am grateful to Cathleen Small, my editor, for her buoyant sense of humor, sharp eye, encouraging manner, and politic deadline reminders. Thanks also to Ron Rockwell, technical editor; Bill Hartman for his layout skills; and Mike Tanamachi for cover design.

Great Travel Photos

Taking a vacation snapshot is easy; just press the shutter button. Creating memorable photographs of your travels is another thing entirely. Thumb through any magazine of travel photos, and youll find that the best contain three basic elementsa compelling subject, an interesting vantage point, and appealing light.

Pros may make it look easy, but the truth is that long before the camera comes out of the bag, a good deal of research and planning are required to combine these three factors in a single image. While on assignment, a travel photographer may spend days choosing subjects, exploring different vantage points, and waiting for the right weather before getting the shot thats finally published. For amateur shutterbugs in an unfamiliar city with only a limited amount of time to photograph, such in-depth preparation is rarely possible. The result? Disappointing photos.

This book helps you make the most of your photography in Washington, DC by presenting 50 of the best photo opportunities the District has to offer. Ill show you exactly where to find the most interesting and least obstructed views, give you the best times of day to shoot, and guide you through the steps I used to photograph the images in these pages. Think of this book as your personal assistant. The research, location scouting, and planning have already been done, allowing you to dedicate your time to capturing stunning photographs of this amazing city.
