Good Morning, STL

Yesterday morning I jumped in the car early in the morning to see if I could capture the Arch as a line of storms was approaching. Turns out that the light was just right. I had the rise morning sun behind me and the storm clouds behind the arch. When I jumped up on the levee wall on the east side of the river to shoot this, this light only lasted about 5 minutes. I'm glad I had the right lens on my camera and didn't need the tripod. This is two shots stitched together. There's one unfortunate flaw in this image. If you look closely you'll see it. I'll have to process a new one sometime in the future to fix that problem.

    Wow! Great light and dramatic clouds. I wish I had a camera when I lived in the Midwest. There were many storms with tornado warnings and I spent most of the time hiding in the basement.

    Great shot, Jeff! thumb.gif Beautiful arch with fantastic, even light. The flaw is hardly noticable, and I probably wouldn't have seen it had you not alluded to it.
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    Thanks, guys. The flaw, of course, is a stitching error on the upper left side of the Arch. I used PS CS4 instead of PTGui for the stitching. My bad. I'll have to redo it.
