Extreme Close ups II

 
Gateway Arch
Photograph by Tom Atwood
The most predictable--and probably the most practical--way to shoot a massive object like the St. Louis Gateway Arch is from afar. Back away and shoot wide. But on this morning I got as close to the stainless, but scratched up, steel as possible. I was interested in photographing the tiny beads of metal clinging to the seams of the monument. What are they? I don't know. And why would anyone scratch the Arch? Shutter: 1/125; Exposure: f/5.6; ISO: 110; Focal length: 40 mm.
