What kind of filter did you use on #2?
The coloring is amazing.

 

[Big Bully]

Absolutely fantastic. I love the angles you got for the Eifel Tower and Notre Dame. They make me want to look at the photos.
The catacombs, can anyone just walk in there, or do you have to have special permission? Who on earth was buried there?!

Great series of photos, very interesting.

 

[LaFoto]

They are GOOD!
Wow, as a fan of stained glass windows, I cannot but LOVE the second photo. Wow, I wish I could be there in person! I also like the relatively small aperture you chose so the lights become little stars. Does this mean you are totally allowed to set up the camera on a tripod inside Sainte Chapelle? And what was your lens ---> such wide angle!!

wow I am impressed great HDR. impressive shots.

No tripod, everything here is handheld minus the arc de triomphe shot where I found a railing.

No filter on number 2, just a bit of post production work.

Catacombs, anyone can just walk in.... its 3.50 euro for admission. Best 3.50E I've ever spent. You can even touch the bones if you please. It took some searching to figure out what exactly the catacombs were, and I'm still not certain... but apparently its just a mass grave of 6 million french.

Only HDR is the last one

 

[rjackjames]

if the last one is a HDR? WHat camera did u use to get such great sharpness and contrast in your images??

 

[GeorgeUK]

A great series there

What is the exposure time on #2. To get the star effect, I'm assuming you needed to use a high f value (and thus implied required longer exposure time). Dare I ask if they were p'shopped in?

Eiffel tower HDR is excellent

To answer previous question, using a nikon d300

#2 is not photoshopped, don't mind you asking though. Shot details
ISO 1000
shutter time 1/6
f 13
