Exhibit at ArtEAST

Arch Shadows
Photograph by Tom Atwood
This photo is part of the ArtEAST exhibit in Edwardsville, Illinois this weekend. It will be shown along with other photos of mine at the Main Street Art Gallery. Some people find the picture confusing, wondering if it is Photoshopped or altered in some way? It is actually an unretouched photograph of the Gateway Arch as low clouds pass just above the top. The shadows on the clouds are caused by the 44 floodlights installed at the base of the arch to light it up at night like a Christmas tree. Shutter: 13 secs; Aperture: f/3.5; ISO: 100; Focal length: 18 mm.
