Try calling Penn's E St. store. I was there at lunchtime today and they still had all the rental gear in the store.

Hello,

Now that Penn is gone, are there other places to rent lighting equipment in DC? A quick Google search has turned up stuff for motion picture hot lights, but not photographic gear.

Thanks,
-Brandon

I long exposure photo f/29 has shown me presence of some dust particles on my sensor. How badly do I need to get my sensor cleaned.

Also would any one recommend me Sensor swab or get it done from Canon Professional.

PS My camera is 2 years old now.

Anyone interested? I signed up last year for the DC Edgewood/Brookland group and had a great time. We could use anyone interested in giving-back this holiday season from photogs to people running the SD cards from photog to printers. Check it out:

For best quality you need to go the Dodge Chrome Imaging. Penn just sends out most of the stuff to be processed by a large house anyway.

There's a drop-off point for Dodge Chrome just West of Georgetown. The cool thing with these guys is that you can get proof prints in any format, and even get proof prints from transparencies. It is well worth a little extra money. Here's the link to their processing pages:

Cheers! Just checked them out, heard only good things so I must give them a go. $5 for colour neg isn't bad at all, but $10 for slide film seems pretty steep - it costs the equivalent of $5 back home... anywhere that can do slide film for a better price than that?

Penn Camera (closest store is probably their E Street store downtown); they are the camera store for DC and one of the best in the country. When I shoot film, that's where I get it developed.

Hey guys, I'm from Ireland and I'm living around the DC area for a few months. I'm staying in Anacostia (bit of a culture shock haha) and I'm shooting both colour neg and slide film - where's the best place to get film developed here? I'm on a bit of a tight budget, but I just want quality, clean negatives!

Cheers,

Hey guys,

I moved to DC a few month ago!
Unfortunately, I didn't meet a lot of photographers or creative people yet.
So if anyone wants to hang out to take photos or go to the National Art Gallery just let me know. I really miss to do or talk about some creative stuff!

Cheers, Cindy

Gotcha. Well there's a few public walls that are legal to do this around town but I don't know the exact location. There's a wall near the 930 club I heard a couple people talk about but other than that, I'm of no help. Sorry.

The FDR Memorial is a great place point of view to paint at least three of DC's monuments. It's a great view. I have it GPS marked too.

If you have time hit up the K Street Cemetery it's worth the walk thru. Also you must go to Arlington National Cemetery as you enter going up towards The Lee house the road forks take the left fork follow it up till you come across Field Marshall Sir John Dill Monument and grave.

Feel free to ask me any question about Arlington I'm working on a book and visit it twice aweek .

Another place to visit is the Postal Museum it's near Union Station.

If you're going to be near the Vietnam memorial or the Lincoln memorial, don't miss the Einstein statue as well, just across the (very busy) street:

Some of the other gems, you might want to give the old town section of Alexandria a try. It is accesible by Metro to the King Street station and a reasonable walk.

For some interesting little places try browsing through this Washingtonian article on
Hidden Gems

Take a stroll of Roosevelt Island, which sits in the middle of the Potomac River between DC and Virginia. There's a parking lot on the Virginia side of the river. From there a pedestrian bridge from there provides access to the Island (you can see it on the Google Maps link below). In the center of the island is a cool old monument to Teddy Roosevelt (different from the FDR memorial discussed above) and a walking path provides access to the perimeter of the island. The forested island provides some unique views of the city and the trees should be lovely in October.

Eats is one of my favorite things to do when I travel and one of the best eats is Ollie's Trolley. They got great burgers and chips and is a mini museum. Then there is the famous landmark Ben's Chili Bowl. All over you'll find Potbelly sandwich shops if you want a quick sandwich at a cheap price. These are the top places I recommend to eat all the time.

It's kind of out of the way but the Air & Space Museum at Dulles is a home to many historical forms of travel of the subjects like the Concorde and the Blackbird are housed here as well as a NASA space shuttle. For picture taking around DC, one of the best places to shoot is the FDR Memorial. You've got a great view of landmarks from here. Aim for dawn as this is when places are it's clearest if you want a people free shot.

Hi guys, I'm from England and I'm visiting Washington DC with my mum and nan for ten days at the end of September/early October and I'd love to know what to see and do. We want to see all of the tourist locations but what I'm looking for are more hidden gems that you think tourists should experience. I've tried to find some stuff online but none of it really goes into detail, so I'd be really grateful for your help.

Thank you so much :)

Ah, I probably should have posted in here--but there's a DC State Fair 2011 Photography Competition pool, www.flickr.com/groups/dcstatefair2011photocontest.

The deadline to enter is August 20th, so you have another week to pick your two best DC photos to enter!

Hi folks!

I'm the DC State Fair President, and I wanted to share the DC State Fair photography contest with you DC photogs. You surely have wonderful photos of DC to enter! You could win eternal fame--and your winning photo printed and framed!

I hope you will all enter, and I hope to see you all at the Fair taking some candid shots while the judges are stuffing their faces with pie, cupcakes, and pickles--though hopefully not all at the same time!
