Ain't No Sunshine...

Apologies if the Bill Withers 1971 hit is now implanted in your head due to this title. Even a rainy day can't dampen the Spring beauty of the Cherry blossoms along the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC.

Continued appreciation for your views and comments especially since I have been so sporadic of late in return. If only I could retire ;-)

@lesip It was around 10:30am and a long-exposure. So with the drizzle, people keep moving and essentially become invisible the longer the exposure.

[Judith Greenwood]

How beautiful - and its brought back lovely memories of our Easter visit 18 years ago - due another one!

[Rosan]

Gorgeous capture! Thanks for sharing the info on long exposure hiding the moving people... pretty cool!

[carol white]

Stunning. Fav! 😃

[Francoise]

interesting. do you have to put a filter on this to be able to do long exposure in the middle of the morning?

[Rachel]

Those blossom trees are so beautiful, and I like the composition of this one.

[Scott]

@francoise Yes, I used a 9-stop neutral density filter for this.
