| A photograph of the yule log fire pit on the Ellipse in front of the White House during Christmas season in Washington DC This photograph captured in December, 1999 was taken by Jim Epler during the Christmas Season in Washington, DC on the Ellipse in front of the White House. It is cataloged under the terms holiday, cities, night scenes, urban scenes and seasonal scenes 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 55mm f/1.8 lens. Photographer Comments: The trail of sparks escaping from the fire pit in this picture takes me back to when my wife and I visited the holiday ellipse in front of the White House every holiday season when we lived in Washington, D.C. The Yule Log was a popular spot to warm yourself from the bitter cold; needless to say it never disappointed. Admittedly dark, I like this picture because the National Holiday Tree and the fire pit are the dominent focal elements in the frame. It is difficult to see much detail anywhere else but I don't feel this detracts too much from the image. |
