Terrible Night Photos in DC

I really hated this week’s 52frames photo challenge. The subject was “night” - and if you only have an iPhone for a camera, it’s a tough call. I downloaded an app that is supposed to help in low light situations, motion blur and night trails. But the camera needs to be propped on a tripod or it will be fuzzy. To make matters worse, I am not sure how to use the settings. We took a special evening trip in to DC and spent time in our old Capitol Hill neighborhood. I was willing to try anything - street scenes, monuments, rowhouses, fountains. The whole experience was disappointing. We did pass by the movie Princess Bride being played on the lawn by the Library of Congress. The problem was us that we were driving around in the car, I would jump out, and everything seemed so very rushed. A most interesting Washington monument with the moon next to it was a mess. What is supposed to be a fun experience turned in to something more stressful, and that isn’t the point. Miraculously a few photos actually turned out, but there were so many more that were hideous. Most weeks I really like at least a couple of photos. This week? Not so much.
