White
Nights, Pink Cats
As part of the 'Nuit Blanche'
(sleepless night) event in Paris, this was a strange apparition I
stumbled across in the orangery of the Bercy park.
Sleepwalking cats, of all things,
trundling eerily around the trees with their arm aloft, quite
disconcerting but strangely intriguing.
Technically, without a tripod
(because I really don't like them much and don't often have the patience
to set up shots, preferring spontaneity) this was a tricky shot. There
was very little light, and apart from my own wobbling, the cats
themselves were moving, so I had to use the blur to give a soft,
dreamlike effect to the shot, and a lot of them were unusable. |
