Ghost Arch

I had some nice feedback from my earlier posts showing alternative views of the Saint Louis Arch so I thought I’d offer another one. This was a cool view of the Arch at dark… as you stand underneath it and look up, the floodlights below throw a spooky ghost shadow effect on the dark sky above. I composed this a couple of different ways, but really liked how the light gleamed off the steel exterior here–just enough to tell what you are looking at, but with a sense of mystery surrounding the haloed lights above. Hope you enjoy…
