Old Chain of Rocks Bridge
Photograph by Tom Atwood |
There is something apocalyptic about this icy photo of the Mississippi River at the Chain of Rocks. Part of it is the ice, which seems to bubble up out of the river. Part of it is the bridges, empty, except for one truck on the I-270 Bridge. But I think the main ingredient in this end-of-the-world image is the finish. The sepia, in high contrast, makes everything seem more stark and forbidding. It was actually a beautiful day - as you can see in the original color image below.
Shutter: 1/160; Aperture: f/5.6; ISO: 100; Focal length: 18 mm
