What to do at Dulles on a layover
Posted at 11:22 am on November 16th, 2008 by Ron in Cool |So I got to Washington Dulles airport about 5 hours before my flight back to SFO last week, and the Virgin America rep was kind enough to suggest I pay a visit to the new Smithsonian National Air and Space museum, just a short shuttle ride from the public side of the airport.
As a pilot, I found myself in aviation heaven, and spent about 3 hours wandering around taking snapshots with my new Canon G10. Here’s my favorite shot, of the space shuttle Enterprise…
and here’s the entire set of 71 photos.

Good stuff!!
Did you use a tripod?
Could you use a tripod in there?
The Air Force Museum in Dayton is also huge and fascinating.

@Luke,
Thanks. No tripods are allowed, so for the most part I used ISO200 with about 0.8 - 1.0 sec exposures, and just braced the camera on a rail (or on the floor for the shot above). I think the image stabilization of the G10 helped on most photos. I posted virtually all the shots I took on Flickr, so you’ll see some are blurrier than others.
