MDC Nature Photographer

Noppadol Paothong

Noppadol Paothong is the staff photographer for the Missouri Department of Conservation. Many of his images can be found in the Missouri Conservationist magazine with a monthly readership of 500,000. His website and blog give some first hand idea sof the life, technique and equipment of someone doing nature photography for a living. It sounds harder than I would have expected with hours and hours spent waiting quietly in a blind for just the right moment. I think many of us wonder what it would be like to make our living doing something that most of us do for pleasure. I hope this is usefull.

Yesterday I did a photo shoot with some friends at a Washington Metal Fabricators. Unfortunately the plant was mostly finished for the day but it still presented a number of great shots. So much of the time I am shooting, dead or dying buildings and industrial locations so it was great to get to shoot a living, working plant. WMF is very much alive and well. Enjoy these images from a real live Midwestern manufacturing company.

The Death of the Merchant of Venice

St. Louis

Today's post are from a recent series of images shot just North of the down town area of St. Louis. I call this the Death of the Merchant of Venice as it is in and around a recently renovated bridge across the Mississippi called what else the Merchant's Bridge. It connects North St. Louis with Venice IL. Just accross the river into Illinois is an Ameren UE power station which is being demolished. It is a place grand in scale and size as the river, the bridge and the power station as well as the views back toward the city are all grand in scale.
