Joni McCool

Gateway Arch, St. Louis
Photograph by Tom Atwood
This photo is dedicated to Joni McCool, an exceptional landscape photographer in Mississippi. Joni literally focuses her camera on the Emerald Coast, and the vast, almost endless Gulf of Mexico. But one of her best photos of the Gulf, in my opinion, is an extreme close up of drops of water splashing as a wave crashes onshore. A very tiny image illustrating an enormous seascape. Here's my Midwest version of a Joni McCool photo: one of the stainless steal welded seams holding together the Gateway Arch. A very tiny image illustrating an enormous architectural landscape. Thanks Joni. Shutter: 1/30; Aperture: f/3.5; ISO: 1400; Focal length: 18 mm.
