Not-So-Cliche shots of Tour Eiffel

[Geaux]

I took the typical Eiffel shots while in Paris, but I also tried approaching it in a different way. Let me know what you think

1.

2.

3.

4. Probably one of my favorite shots

5. Not artsy, but I found it to be sort of a newspaper-esque type shot.

*Bonus Cliche Shot* This one was not an easy take. It was storming on our last night there and it was my only chance to get a shot of it at night. I had it set up on a tripod under my pancho, ran out, set it up and lifted the pancho above like a canopy to get it. It worked out well, minus parts of blown out sections on it.

They're nice images, but I think you missed on the 'not cliche' aspect, especially #3; that's right up there with the 'heart of hands' in materinity shots!

Really? I hadn't really seen one done like that before, so its news to me (especially haven't seen it as much as the Heart of Hands shot lol). Oh well :/ Seems like you are also saying the others were cliche? How so?

Thanks for the input though, you always comment on my threads and I wanna thank you for that

I love #6.

My bonus cliche picture Thanks!

I like them they make me want to go there even more haha.

Seriously, if you ever get the chance, do it. Hated Paris at first, but totally warmed up to it. I want to go back badly!

Nice pics!

Thanks!

I think any photo of the Eiffel Tower is automatically going to be cliche. Its probably the most photographed image in the world and photographed from every single angle. I agree, I've seen a lot of people do #3 when I was there. I even did the group photo from underneath shooting upwards, but hey, its a fun shot. That said, they are good images! #5 might be the exception to the cliche rule since the subject is actually the crowd (Isreal?) and the tower is the background.

Hah, we did a shot like that too. 10mm definitely came in handy

I give this shot a 9. I would have given you a 10 if you had showed more of your crotch.
