Watching the world go by...


You're not going to learn a lot about Paris through this photo, but let's say it's a little change from the usual Eiffel tower LOL! I took it Sunday, at rue de Rivoli during a demonstration. This guy was watching the crowd go by from a traffic light control cabinet on which he had managed to climb. To be frank this photo was not that easy to take because of the light coming from the sky. I probably should have used my flash but I did not have enough time to set it. I like the result though and I hope you do too.

  1. Wow. This one takes the "Tenin perspective" to new heights, or rather depths. I like it.

  2. Glad you did not use flash. Startling him could be hazardous!

  3. You didn't need a flash at all, it came out just fine. And it has a more natural tone because of that.

    Nice angle, you took advantage of the moment.

  5. This is a great shot -- and it doesn't look like a flash was really needed. (And it could have been hazardous as Linda pointed out :-))

  7. I think learning about parisian people is a way to learn about Paris too. Hugs Eric.
