Skyline

Sunrise, Mississippi River, St. Louis
Photograph by Tom Atwood

Yes, there is trickery involved in this picture. First of all, the photo is upside down. It started out as a traditional shot of the St. Louis skyline at dawn along the Mississippi. But as I looked at image, the most interesting part was the skyline's reflection in the water. So, I rotated the photo, cropped out the actual skyline, and that left this ripply picture, which has also been enhanced in terms of contrast and saturation (color) during processing. Shutter: 1/5 sec; Aperture: f/18; ISO: 100; Focal length: 18mm. (The picture was taken at 6:20 a.m. on September 20, 2010.)
