Gateway Arch


Gateway Arch
Originally uploaded by Alejandro Ramírez
St Louis is my new home (again), and hopefully this time for good. I wasn't into photography the first time I lived here so this time it's rather cool to rediscover the place I once called home through a fresh new look.

This is my 9th photo that makes it to the Flickr Explore page. This one ranked # 247 on August 24, 2009.

My favorite part of this photo is first, the pose, second the eyes of the wasp, I think they are very expressive.

Behind the scenes: "Please don't shoot me"

Tonight I was able to get my 65mm lens out and shoot a bee portrait.

I found a dying bee by my door step and tried to save her only to find her dead shortly after. So I decided to take some shots before long.

This shot is my favorite "behind the scenes" shot, it's as if the bee is begging for me not to shoot her -photographically speaking.




The Setup
* Tripod
* Macro sliding rail
* Canon Rebel XTi
* Canon MP-E 65mm Macro lens
* 100W tungsten lightbulb on lamp
* 40-60W tungsten kitchen lamp above
* No flash
* F8 - F16
* Exposure 10" - 30"
* Custom function: Mirror Lock
* Wireless infrared remote control with 2s wait



And the result:
