A little back story to my photo walk: I bought a nice, entry-level DSLR camera last year around my birthday. A Canon Rebel T5. But I don’t make anywhere near as many opportunities to use it as I should, which means I’m not as familiar with it as I’d like to be.<\/p>\n

I’m going on vacation in December and plan to take the T5 with me. To help become more familiar with the camera, I’ve decided to take some photo walks and capture anything that catches my eye. Practice makes perfect, after all.<\/p>\n

I walked around Southwest DC, namely the tidal basin and national mall. There’s so much to see and photograph around there. I think I ended up with about 100 photos. Most of them were pretty good, thankfully.<\/p>\n

Here are my 10 favorite photos. Which one is your favorite? Do you ever go on photo walks?<\/p>\n
