Modest little mausoleum for old Napoleon! I know this is one of my chips on my shoulder but I think it would look better with the converging verticals corrected?
Good shot of the tower.
Best wishes, Kris.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Love the shot of the Tower with La Defense in the back ground. Went there for our honeymoon but was not a great success: next twenty seven yeasr were/are better, though!
Vermeer is my favourite artist, bar none!
Well done!

I'm more fond of La Defense than I am of the Eye Full Tower, its much more to my photographic taste. Nice set of pics, makes me wish I was back in Paris.

From where did you take the picture of the Eiffel Tower and La Defense - if it was the Montparnasse Tower that's quite a long way off and you must have been using a helluva lens. Or where you up in an aircraft?

Hi David, you guessed correctly in that it was taken from the Montparnasse, at a focal length of 70mm! 15m pixies and cropping took care of the rest!

Thanks for the interest.

I had all my gear nicked on the Paris underground and so I am in no hurry to return! Funny how one bad incident can colour your views so strongly. I hope whichever French person ended up with my MX, three lenses and flash gun appreciated them!
Best wishes, Kris.
