A few from Paris

[achtungbarry]

Hello,

A few weeks ago, I spent 4 days photographing Paris. As well as the chance to photograph my favourite city in the world, it allowed to properly put my new 'perspective' on photography in to practice for the first time in a major way (ie. climbing out of the hole and ditching hdr)

Basically, I got up before sunrise every day (around 5am) to photograph a location in the pre-dawn before usually changing location for the morning golden hour. Then it was back to the hotel to rest and lunch. In the evening, I did the whole thing again with the golden and blue hours. It was really tough going actually and I had less time than I expected at each location to bag the shots. any way, here are the first shots from the trip.
