Photograph the iconic "Welcome to Washington, DC" sign as a local landmark and gateway shot—clean typography, nearby flags and street context make great storytelling images. Visit at golden hour or after dark when the sign is lit; weekday mornings offer fewer people. Easily accessible from public streets (no entry fees), expect limited curbside parking and typical DC pedestrian traffic. Be mindful of traffic and local residents.
