I have a nice shot of the Arch I took one time, just before dusk, from a traffic jam on Interstate 55 where we were sitting still and I shut my truck off and braced the camera and a long lens in the window frame.
The long metal structure you saw in the river was probably a barge and it may or may not be there when you are as they are constantly moved about. There may be places there you could access but you really need someone familiar with that particular area to advise you. I live south of St Louis a ways and have never photographed the Arch the way you want to but I can tell you that the area across from the Arch is not generally somewhere you want to be at night with expensive equipment and alone. As I know little of St Louis and this particular area, I wanted to check if it was safe for me to be on my own with some expensive photo equipment.įinally, I take it that I can go back to the casino and order a cab to pick me up and take me back to my hotel?ĭo you guys know of a better location to shoot sunset/dusk of the arch? The only other location that comes close appears to be close to the rail bridge: I’ll get a taxi to drop me off at Casino Queen and then walk to the location. Is this platform still there, and does it get in the way? If the answer is yes to both, was the above shot taken before this structure was in place? I would guess that it would get in the way of a picture like the one above unless it is shot from the metal platform itself (which I doubt is legal/safe). I also noticed from Google Earth that more or less opposite the arch is a long metal structure a few metres into the river. Can I (safely and legally) get right to the water? I wanted to ask your advice on some points:ġ) Access to the opposite river bankGoogle Earth appears to show some railway tracks running along the opposite river bank. This is probably the best shot I’ve come across: I’ll be visiting St Louis shortly and hope to photograph the famous arch from the other side of the river at dusk.
