Nice pics. How big is that Eiffel Tower? Your photos make it look nearly as huge as the real thing!

Very pretty photos! were you vacationing there? The thing that jumped out at me, though is it seems the white balance is off, and the images turned out yellow. I have a D70 myself, and for night and indoor shots I always take it off auto white ballance and set it to incandescent to get it to look better.

Thanks. The Eiffel tower is quite big, maybe as high as a twenty-story building. I don't think it is as big as the real one, although I have never been to Paris.

I used auto white balance. Actually I prefer to shoot everything in raw so that white balance can be adjusted by hand. But I did not have sufficient storage space. In general I think the auto white balance did a good job, and the color of the photos is quite similar to the original color of the buildings.
