Evening in Paris. For this one I used maybe 10 pictures and combined them in Hugin (averaging). This is why there are so many lights on the tower
I remember I was on such a hurry for this one - barely managed to put the tripod on. I think even the ISO was higher but as soon as I noticed that there is something on the screen I kept shooting.
Only after I combined the images the complete picture was revealed.
I especially like the Vancouver image. This looks like such a calm, beautiful evening.
Well done, and thanks for sharing!
What do you think a polarizer would have done to enhance this specific picture?
Just be aware that copyright is claimed for the lighting on the Eiffel Tower (the tower itself is in the public domain). Although that copyright claim hasn’t been tested yet, afaik… (and to be complete, copyright doesn’t cover you taking an image, only publishing is involved).
That certainly does not seem to be the case for professional use… (but that only concerns the illumination, not the tower itself, which is free to use, French law not recognising “public domain” the same way e.g. the USA does).
But in the end, if you really need to publish such an image and want to be sure, talk to a lawyer or “SETE”. There are too many subleties involved otherwise. And I didn’t want to spawn a legal discussion here, just a heads-up that there are limitations with this kind of images (as with any image of recent buildings/art work). And those limitations have limitations (I hope you like recursion :P)
It darkened a bit the top right blue corner. I was shooting with a friend and I believe I borrowed his filter. But there were few pictures so I don’t remember everything
