I spent the whole day at "Nikon's school France" to learn how to finally master my D7000(!) and I discovered a whole new world. Unfortunately it was too dark when I went out to put everything I learned in practice! So in the meantime, here is a shot I took last weekend, after I noticed the beautiful light on the Palais du Louvre. You probably all heard about the Palais du Louvre, which was once a royal residence, until Louis the XVIth decided to move to Versailles in 1682. Part of it was detroyed, what was in it was stolen, but some of it is still standing and shelters now what you all know as the Musée du Louvre. Read more about it if you have the time, it's fascinating...

My wife has a D7000, although we have upgraded to a D3s, which I use most of the time. Be good if you can share some of the things you learnt, as I am sure they would cover most of Nikons range of DSLRs
ReplyDeleteIt's fun trying to imagine the lovely additions and renovations of the Louvre over the centuries.
ReplyDeleteIt's also fun seeing the lovely additions on PDP, such as Mme Dewilde!
You are having more fun everyday with your camera !
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy that "urban" approach !
Can't wait to see what you've learned to do with your fabulous new camera, Eric. (Once upon a time, the Louvre was free every Sunday, and I knew this place like my pocket!)

ReplyDeleteMy comment is a bit late but Eric, I think you should correct in your caption Louis the XVIth by Louis the XIVth... because in 1682, we were at least a century before our French Revolution !
ReplyDeleteThis is not so important : only to show I'm attentive ;)
