View Over Washington

I have lived in Washington, D.C. for a number of years - not including the brief stint spent living overseas. Yet in all of my time here, it was only a week ago that I first had a chance to tour the White House.  

The house and the rooms within are beautiful, but I wasn't attracted to photograph them. My interest was captured by what lay outside the house - the view. Looking out the White House windows offers an incredible sight, easily one of the best views of Washington. With my Leica M240, I captured these two images depicting that wonderful view. 

I also recently upgraded my mobile iPad editing setup, in hope that one day I can become detached from the computer as the lone means to edit. These photos were both edited entirely on the iPad, and I will be updating my blog in the future with more information about the mobile workflow (and if it actually works!)
