Finishing this three-part series on Paris are some architectural shots and general cityscapes; the grandeur, oldness and overall feel of the place is something that’s evident the moment you start walking around. Capturing the atmosphere in a photograph of a relatively static scene that both invokes some feeling (and not a postcard) isn’t so easy to do; there are only so many angles of the Eiffel tower that work compositionally.
This series shot with a Leica M8, 21/1.4 ASPH and 50/1.1 in 2009, except for the Eiffel Tower shot which was with a D200 and 17-55 in 2007.

Hey,
I’m a photographer and I am studying in Paris at the moment. I have to say the images are fantastic and inspirational. This is the kind of work I’d like to leave having.
Thanks – it’s all around you, just have to get out and practice. Looking at the work of others can help give you ideas, too.
All Leica M8 ? No, The eiffel-tower is taken with a Nikon D 200 @ 17 mm f 2.8
Oops – you’re right, I missed one. 2007, that was.
Ciao ming, superb lighting, wonderful compositions, great shots, love them all 🙂
Thanks Lynne!
