Art Fair

Here is a photo taken this fall at the St. Louis Art Fair in Clayton, MO. This is a low light photo just using available light. I used a 50mm prime lens at f1.8, 1/100 sec. This photo still came out almost black so processing in Photomatix brought out the highlights and interesting tones.

The Arch grounds are currently going through a complete renovation: all of the trees are being removed, new landscaping and new attractions. The arch is an interesting subject since each angle presents a completely different photo. Every photo can be aContinue reading “Gateway Arch”

Lewis and Clark at Eads Bridge

This is a photo taken a few years ago at Eads Bridge. This photo, like many, was processed with Photomatix and Lightroom. This give the interesting “surreal” look and high-definition. Apparently, the statue of Lewis and Clark has been moved because it spends a lot of time under water due to flooding!
