St. Louis Skyline

The skyline of St. Louis, Missouri, just after sunset. Taken on January 21st, 2013 on the way home from a trip to Alton, Illinois to go eagle watching. Although St. Louis is located in Missouri, I was in Illinois when I got this shot.

 

I was using an old Minolta Maxxum (A-Mount) zoom lens that I recently acquired. It's a Minolta AF Zoom 70-210mm lens, that came with a Minolta Maxxum 300si film camera I found. Because Sony kept the Minolta A-mount for their cameras, this old Minolta auto-focus film lens fits on my new Sony Alpha A230 DSLR. And because the sensor on the digital camera is smaller than normal, it makes the focal length of this lens 105-315mm in equivalent range.
