    A view of the United States Capitol dome and a fountain in Washington, DC. This photograph captured in September, 1999 was taken by Jim Epler in the summer in Washington, DC a park near the United States Capitol. It is cataloged under the terms cities, architecture, landmarks and parks & fountains in this photography database.

   The image was exposed on 35mm Kodak Tri-X 400 black & white film stock using a Pentax Asahi Spotmatic II camera with a Asahi Pentax 28mm f/3.5 lens stopped to f/16 and exposed at a speed of 1/125th of a second.

Photographer Comments: I set up my tripod and camera across from this fountain to test a set of .6 and .9 ND filters I recently purchased. I wanted to experiment with slow shutter speeds to see how the use of these filters would affect the composition of the water. Generally, I like this photograph because the dome of the Capitol appears to rise from the fountain like an additional spout of water. This particular shot was not taken with a long shutter speed, and it turned out to be the best of the lot in my opinion!

 

Additionally, Jim thought of search words that someone might use to locate this picture including the terms Capital, washington DC, water, fountain, US Congress, capitol dome, United States Capitol and park, so he included these on this page as a service to himself and others who would like to download this free photograph!
