An oldie but goodie

No rain here so I have been digging through some of my older photos again and reworking some of them in photo shop and playing with the Nikon Capture NX2 software.

I hate new computer stuff! I was just getting used to thinking I knew what I was doing with photoshop and now I feel like a dummy again with the NX2 software. Hopefully in a few months that will pass. LOL

This photo is one of a series I took a year or two ago while in St. Louis, MO for work. The master will be pleased because grasshopper used a tripod! LOL

I climbed a tower across the river from the arch, which technically meant I was in Illinois, and set up about a half hour before sunset and just kept shooting and adjusting the settings on the camera and shooting some more until it was completely dark. About 100 photos later I came away with about ten I really liked.

  3. You have the lighting perfect in this photo, the balance between the sky and the city skyline and reflections is just right! (And you used a tripod)

    Nice shot
