The view from the steps of
Montmartre is one of the nicest in Paris, which is free of course. You
can have fun identifying Notre Dame, Beaubourg, Père
Lachaise cemetary and plenty of other things.
It's a good one for texture, because Paris roofs are all very uniform so
you get a pleasantly impressing picture of building-tops almost
completely filling the frame. Well, you can fill the frame with them if
you want, but I like to leave a little sliver of sky to give some sense
of scale and there's a couple of chimneys pumping away on the horizon
too so a bit more interest there.
Because there's so much detail you need a tripod to be sure everything
is sharp if you intend blowing the photo up at all. I of course didn't
have one - I just had to do my best, with a little help from Nikki's
anti-vibro lens. I must admit I'm still learning about all the buttons
and dials on this camera - it's quite amazing how many there are! Expect
many failures along the way, but that's all part of the fun.
Off on holiday (to Barcelona) very soon for a few weeks, so won't be
sending in much stuff in August. Have great holidays if you are,
otherwise... keep snapping! |
