ARTEAST

Big Cloud, July 15, 2010
Photography by Tom Atwood

This year several of my photographs will be shown at ARTEast in downtown Edwardsville October 16 & 17. The photos, including "Big Cloud," will be on display at Main Street Art Gallery on ARTEast weekend and the during the month of October. The photograph shown here is phenomenal--and by that I mean it is a photograph of something phenomenal. This giant cloud hovered near Edwardsville for an hour as the sun set on July 15. I just kept looking for different places to shoot it, and settled on Strasen Lane, the site of one of my favorite barns. Shutter: 1/80; Exposure f/4.5; ISO: 200; Focal length: 18mm.
