I took this capture from a paddle wheeler cruise boat on the Mississippi River boarding at St. Louis, Missouri. The three visible bridges (from closest to the farthest away) are the MacArthur, Eads, and Poplar Street Bridges. For anyone who has not visited St. Louis and seen the river, I think this capture will convince you why they call it "Big Muddy". I'm planning on taking another cruise on the same boat and taking along my Canon 5D Mark II with the really wide angle lens to see how it does. · Date: Tue March 9, 2010 · Views: 305 · Additional Info Keywords: Mississippi, River, Muddy Camera Make / Model: Canon 40D Lens Make / Focal Length: Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 lens` State / County / Area Image Taken: St. Louis, MO Country Image Taken United States of America Processing Software Applications Used CS4 « more · more »

Author Thread   janper44 Registered: December 2009 Posts: 7,084 Wed March 10, 2010 12:31am Great perspective from your viewpoint on the paddle wheeler to capture the trio of bridges separate from each other. I remember being at the headwaters of the Mississippi where one could step across the river and then being in New Orleans and seeing how wide the river had become. Any idea how wide the Mississippi is here in Saint Louis? Diane Registered: February 2009 Posts: 4,093 Wed March 10, 2010 12:51am It's about a mile and a half wide here in St. Louis, Jan. Can't understand how Huck Finn maneuvered his little wooden raft on it! lynnekelman Registered: November 2008 Posts: 1,141 Wed March 10, 2010 7:18am that's the first thing I thought when I saw this---wow nice wide angle---the exposure looks to be spot on and the sky fits the image really well-----there is a really great flow to the image----must be a great lens ---and of course, photographer-------lynne wilth Registered: January 2009 Posts: 787 Wed March 10, 2010 2:49pm Nice color, texture and clarity. The wide angle view really adds an interesting dynamic to this. And muddy water, I guess. Nice photo, Thanks, Wilt lrw1966 Registered: November 2008 Posts: 3,889 Wed March 10, 2010 4:11pm Diane, Hi: Splendid work. Amazing use of PoV to composed a very dramatic image - from the water - of the three bridges and different architecture's. Well Done and like you I look forward to a similar image with your new camera. Thanks Larry Jan Holland Registered: July 2009 Posts: 1,866 Wed March 10, 2010 7:07pm Yes, I can call this, "Perfectly Capured", Diame. Rreally a fantastic shot with that wide angle lens. Thanks for showing. Jan Skykatt Registered: January 2009 Posts: 321 Wed March 10, 2010 9:05pm Impressive....impressive... photo and river ! Lovely work ! Regards, Phil Tincup Registered: September 2009 Posts: 1,421 Thu March 11, 2010 10:41pm Almost as good as being there! Expert handling of the exposure, and love the 'trilogy' of bridges. Excellent work Diane. Zebedee Registered: June 2009 Posts: 1,204 Fri March 12, 2010 11:37am Hi Diane - I love this. The sky almost looks HDR. I have ordered the Sigma 10-20mm super wide angle lens yesterday and I can't wait for it to arrive. let me know if you have any tips for shooting this wide. Super shot Paula
