From Our Perspective
National Tree Lighting at President's Park
Jen and I had the pleasure, and honor, of attending the National Tree Lighting at President's Park in D.C. The entire event was outdoor, although we were lucky enough to have seats. Not just seats, but second row seats! The weather was frigid and the rain poured throughout the entire event. Jen and I were bundled in our hiking gear: hiking boots, rain jackets, and waterproof pants. Despite the cold rain, we both had a wonderful time.
The lineup included The Obamas, Maria Carey, Aretha Franklin, Train, and a ton more. Did we mention that seeing Aretha Franklin perform live has been on Jen's bucket list for just about forever? And Jane Lynch did a wonderful job of hosting.
It was a fantastic experience, despite the freezing cold rain for three hours. As always, we have pictures for you :)
On a photography note, the drizzling rain made it a huge pain to get crisp pictures of anyone who wasn't directly in the spotlight. You'll see that when the performers are being lit up by the spotlight they are very crisp. Other times, it appears that there is a haze. That haze is the constant drizzling rain. We shot mostly at 3200 ISO, it was dark after all, and with our Nikon 70-200 lens. The colored backlighting, combined with the rain, allowed for some of the images to have a vintage cast to them (no filters added!).
Enjoy the pictures!
