I actually made it to the St. Louis institution of Ted Drewes twice today, and to my credit I did not order anything the second time around, though my kind friends did give me some bites. I was pleased to be able to capture the image above in relatively low light, though I had to take out a fair amount of noise. I love the butterfly on the shirt.
The image below is worth seeing large if you click on the thumbnail and may be able to be used as a background. It was the only of my extended exposures today on which I was able to capture the car lights. I was disappointed at first to see that, perhaps simply because the filter refracted the light or because it was smudged, there was a halo effect around the bright lights and which also are very over-exposed. But then I began to like the effect which was created. Serendipitously, it looks exactly like a steamy summer night in St. Louis actually feels!
That’s a great picture, Dassler. It’s a bit too dark for a backdrop, but speaking of backdrops, would you mind sharing a high-resolution file of that church seen through the left-most third of the building that’s falling down. I love that picture.
Cheers, my friend.

I thought that was a real butterfly until I read your post! This is a beautiful photo – I’ve never tried frozen custard but it sounds yummy.
