Over the last weekend, we took a little trip to Virginia/Washington D.C. It really is a beautiful place in the spring. Lots of natural beauty, good food, and of course, good company. I managed to lug all of my gear around with me in the Kelly Moore bag. I have to admit, it was not comfortable. Very heavy gear + messenger style bag = back and shoulder pain + off balance during hiking/climbing. I very much would have preferred a backpack, but at least the bag did hold up through my abuse with scraping it on rocks and all. No visible damages so far.
I also finally got to use my polarizing filter again. I purchased the filter during my Hawaii travels and didn’t really use it much after. I really love the effect of the filter on the sky, foliage and water. Cannot be achieved in post processing. Or at least… I don’t know how…
Below is an index of the photos from the trip:
