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 135mm f/2.5 lens stopped to f/6.7 and exposed at a speed of 1/60th of a second.
Photographer Comments: I found the roar of the fountain and the splashing of the water at the memorial quite mesmerizing on this rather chilly, cloudy October day. Although I didn't capture an image that is truly representative of the Navy Memorial itself, I like this picture because of the cold tone it exudes and the narrow depth of field between the leaves in the fountain's gutter and the geysers in the background. Downtown Washington DC can be a cold place on an overcast day.
