The St.Louis “Gateway” Arch in St.Louis, Missouri is easily one of the most photographed locations and objects in the St.Louis region. With it being so massive, it offers a challenge in trying to devise a unique way of capturing an image of it without the use of any aircraft. I spent an afternoon experimenting with angles, reflections, and exposure with this image being the result.
With this perspective it almost appeared like a futuristic racetrack shooting into the sky. If it weren’t for the faint clouds captured above, one might not even recognize this was a photograph pointed skyward. The lines of the seams on the metal plates of the arch add some interesting depth of field, as the blue sky reflects giving the steel a cool blue appearance.
