On September 23, 2013 I drove to the Capitol to get a few shots of this magnificent building. I was hoping to get one that I could perhaps blow up and put on my wall at home. I posted up at several locations around the building snapping a few shots, trying to get a unique angle - one that most people don't see. In the end, this straight on shot from 7th Street West (not NW, not SW, but right in the middle) seemed to be my last chance. Still not satisfied with what I saw on my camera's display screen, I picked up my tripod a little disappointed and began disassembling my gear. Just then, the moon started to come out from behind the clouds, and I thought in excited tones "the moon!, the moon!, the moon!" Plunked down my tripod and took a few more shots.
Taken with a Canon Rebel XS with an EFS 55-250mm telephoto lens, this was the last photo I captured. At home, on my mac, I was delighted to find that it looked better than it had on my camera's display screen.
