Photos from Paris

[AG64]

Hi folks, I'm a member who is returning after a bit of a hiatus and is rediscovering what a great community this is. I wanted to share some black and white photos from a trip to Paris a few weeks ago.

Landscapes have primarily been my area of interest, and while you can certainly get some amazing vistas of Paris at sunrise and sunset, I tried to use the trip as an opportunity to practice my cityscape and street photography. I've always struggled a bit to get what I feel are compelling street photos, so I'd definitely appreciate any feedback anyone can provide. A week of practice helped, but i'm just scratching the surface.

Arno,

Welcome back, nice captures. Did you know that publishing photos of the efifel tower taken at night is supposedly illegal or at least a copyright violation? I'm sure you won't be rounded up but I thought the tidbit was interesting.

That only applies to the "light show" display, rather than the normal night-time illumination. If I remember correctly from the last time we were in Paris, the show lasted around 5 minutes and ran once an hour.

Thank you Paul.

Yes it is 5 minutes every hour. Given the number of people I saw taking photos of it, enforcement would be rather challenging.
