Shot this in Paris in 2008. This was taken with a Sigma 70-200mm lens at the long end. This has the effect of foreshortening the scene. At the end of the Champs Elysees you can see Place De La Concorde

This photograph was taken from Montmartre looking over Paris towards the Eiffel Tower. It was pretty misty up there that day and I liked th way you could only just make out the Eiffel Tower in the mist.

The Moulin Rouge – or Red Windmill – is located in Pigalle, Paris. I shot this just after dusk. I have been mooching around Montmartre for most of the day and returned to Pigalle on my way home.

More orders today – Paris and Venice. Black and White Photography

A few more orders today going out to the USA.

I liked the look of these after printing and thought that they complimented each other well. Then again, I don’t think you can go wrong with Paris and Venice.

Walking around Paris, I came across this scene at Pont Neuf. The boy was struggling to pose for his father. After some trying, he got his shot and i got this one.

Sigma DP1 Paris Photography

I have had this camera about 6 weeks now and had the opportunity to test it out properly in Paris recently. First my reasons for buying it . 1) The image quality – Using the same foveon sensor as the Sigma SD14, the quality of this camera’s images is supposed to be fantastic. 2) Its compact size – easy to carry around and doesn’t draw the attention of a big SLR camera. Ideal for street photography 3) The wide angle lens. – at around 28mm (crop factor taken into account) it makes an ideal landscape/architecture lens. The quality of this lens is also supposed to be first class.

I had read a number of reports citing the sluggishness of this camera but for the type of shots I take, this really isn’t an issue. True, this camera is not built for sports photography, the batteries are quick to drain and the lens only has a minimum aperture of F4 but all that said, it does allow you to get shots that a SLR would not whilst maintaining the quality of an SLR. Using the camera set in full manual allows the best possible results

The Louvre, Paris – Black and White Photography

This shot is of IM Pei’s Pyramid at the Louvre, Paris. This pyramid now forms the entrance to the famous museum. This structure is a typical IM Pei design – glass and steel used cleverly to allow as much natural light to filter into the museum as possible. The similarities between this design and the Bank of China in Hong Kong are clear.
