Hi all, 

I'm travelling on business next week and will end up with two days to spare in Washington DC. Researching the web, there seems to be very little of a street photography scene in DC, can you recommend anything there specifically. Obviously I know there is the monuments there but a few pointers would be appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.

Simply use your feet and walk! Anywhere along Constitution Ave is full of people to watch. You might also capture anything from great architecture to amazing sunsets. I could have taken My Q3 but chose to have lightness and flexibility of a zoom, so took my old D-Lux 109. You can see some of those images on the D-Lux forum.

I usually go down to the National Gallery of Art West & East Bldg. This is the moveable walkway between the east and west wing bldg. it's closed for renovations right now (sorry about teasing you). But there is a lot to shot in dc.

And as it's Wash DC there are always protests on the weekends, this was in front of the Lic. Memorial.

All good recommendations, but also any of the neighborhood parks and near Union Train Station

All good suggestions there!  Also, wander down around the White House, Treasury Department and Pennsylvania Ave all the way to the Capitol if your feet can take it.
