Glowing St. Louis Skyline

This past Saturday night, my friend Scott and I went downtown to do some night shooting. I've been waiting a long time to get downtown to night shoot, but could never find anyone willing to make the trek. That night we spent 6 hours between the east side of the river, the Arch grounds, and downtown St. Louis. This particular shot was from atop Eads Bridge that connects Illinois and Missouri. You can walk all the way across but this spot was just over the rivers edge on the Illinois side. We had a great night of shooting and I can already see my night shooting skills and processing begin to improve. I've heard it from many people here on Flickr and I will pass it on to anyone who doesn't know. Bulb mode in Manual mode is the way shoot night landscapes for sure. This is an HDR bracket of 25 - 5 - 55 seconds, which was one of the shorter sets of the night. I had a ton of fun and we will definitely be heading back down for more night shooting, so much more ground to cover. Please let me know what you all think, as I've said I'm on an ongoing quest to improve my night shooting skills in both shooting and processing, so any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Enjoy!

Arch In Sky

Flickr, do not be alarmed! I am still alive and here is evidence that yes, I do still take photos. LoL. Working in the most popular local camera store in the area during the holidays was insanely busy. I spent more time at work than I did at home so Flickr as well as a lot of interweb surfing was put on hold.

A couple of days ago, however, a friend of mine I work with Scott and I went out shooting on our day off. We first hit the Gateway Arch grounds with our ultimate destination being the St. Louis City Museum. We did have some nice white puffy clouds in the sky and I was able to catch some reflections in the arch itself. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

So a little back story with this shot. This is one of my best friends and roomate Steve Wood. He plays one of the world's oldest wind instruments, the Didgeridoo. The store DidgeridooBreath.com is having a photo contest of sorts. Basically, the participants are to get a shot of them in an iconic or special place wearing their Didgeridoo Breath shirt. So this is what we came up with, what better icon of our fine city than the St. Louis Gateway Arch! We had a great sky and great weather to go out shooting.

To the winner of this contest goes a brand new, very nice, very expensive Didgeridoo. I would love to do my part in helping my friend win this because I know this is his passion. I know that if I were in a contest to win a camera, something I'm passionate about, he would do everything he could to help me. So now I'm asking you, all of you, to help Steve and me out by following the link below to the photo on Didgeridoo Breath's Facebook page, like the photo on their page, and that's it! The person with the most likes at the end on the contest wins! We only have a couple weeks left so we would both really appreciate any and all support!

Just follow this link to Didgeridoo Breath's Facebook page and my photo of Steve:

A little HDR action on our very own Busch Stadium here in St. Louis. Morning in downtown St. Louis is probably the best time to visit, and it's upsetting that I'm just now figuring this out. I can't wait to get back downtown again for some more exploring and shooting. :) Please let me know what you all think as all suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!
