Paris ~ 1 by seanoneill

Paris ~ 1

Rebecca and I have just enjoyed a wonderful (and at times eventful) weekend in Paris.

I managed to get a few shots over the 3 days, including a few off the bucket list. So here is one of them, a shot of the Arc de Triomphe at night with a few light trails. As all the lights were white, it translates to my usual B+W style perfectly. Some colour and further B+W versions to follow in other albums and on other days.

I had to suffer to get these, it was absolutely freezing, with a biting wind, and I forgot to take any gloves!!

Much better viewed large.

Have a fav for your efforts, this is beautiful. Well worth freezing over. Do you find you don't realise how cold it is until the photography has finished and then wonder why fingers are numb?

Great pov and capture. The arc looks a bit like a time machine!
November 18th, 2013  
BOOM, FAV. Immense shot.

This sure is a different view. We are used to seeing a lot of the city around it, and this seems isolated. An interesting and mysterious image.

Wow, what a nice shot!
November 18th, 2013  
This is striking Sean, I like how you have placed the Arc in the centre of the frame.

Wow, Sean!! Amazing shot of this iconic symbol of Paris. I love the flare. Another Fav.

I do like this one better! Hope you weren't in a dangerous part of the road to get this shot?
November 18th, 2013  
Very nice! Like if the arc is in some ground fog.

Amazing wide angle photo.

Love this - super shot - has to be a fav in its own right. But also, I took a photo on Kodak transparency 64 ASA, of the Arc one warm evening at twilight in 1966! I had a fixed lens Voigtlander Vito C then, and placed it on top of a flat bollard, used a hand held light meter and hoped. It worked, trails and all! I was with a friend (male!) and we were camped in the Bois de Boulogne. Nice excuse to reminisce, Sean!

@ivan thanks Ivan, I was so happy to read your response to my photo, and that it has given you chance to reminisce. I hanker after a Voigtlander!!
