Washington Photography

Get outdoors and learn a few things about the beautiful art of photography. The Monuments and Memorials Photo Safari provides basic instruction on all aspects of travel photography. Learn about F-stops, shutter speeds, white balance, ISO settings, and reviews composition techniques for taking pictures of people and places. Get oriented and then off you go to build your portfolio. Walk the gardens of the Smithsonian's Arts and Industries Building and take in some amazing opportunities for breathtaking shots. Venture to the Carousel on the National Mall and to the Hirschhorn Sculpture Garden, all great subjects for photography. Time permitting, you will also photograph the new Dwight D. Eisenhower memorial on Independence Avenue.
