Around the World
Various photos from my travels...
The Eiffel Tower
This needs no presentation and is the most recognised building in the world. The photo was taken in late 2007 with a Nikon D200 and a 17-55mm lens. A single 15 second exposure on a flimsy tripod at about 7PM when the light was fading.
I was feeling sick and very cold that night, but I forced myself to leave the hotel room and take some photos. Lucky I did, as the next evening, I was bed ridden and slept through to the following day. That night was reserved for my walk along the Seine river to take night shots of Paris, something I've always visualised doing. Although it never eventuated, it leaves another reason for me to return to Paris one day and finish my photos.
I added the sepia colouring to give it that nostalgic feel. The strong clouds combined to give it a wonderful atmosphere almost enveloping the majestic monument.
