Living in Paris, a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

It was not my intention to do this picture like this, it is an incident, but sometimes incidents are nice surprises (ex. inventions and chemical discoveries). It is taken from somebody's bedroom, and the Eiffel tower is in front of their window. The reflections come from many areas, and that's the result. It is nice, because it shows the Eiffel tower not from a touristic point of view, but from a citizen of Paris. Ah, so nice to live in Paris.

Hi langaloo
Nice to see your pictures. We have the same camera !
This picture is really strange. Maybe an incident but it's nice and well done. The sharp is not top but the light is well captured
Regards

i like this unusual view of that well known tower, the lighting in the appartment and the darkeness around the tower work well together, i just wish it was sharper, otherwise very good!

The Eiffel tower lives in the room.
So nice photo with the dream!

Interesting image! Was this a reflection off of a mirror or a window pane?

Thanks for sharing

So I am in the hotel, waking up in the middle of the night from the noise outside, everything is blurry and twisted, where am I..... oh ok, vacation in Paris.
Very cool, like it alot, wouldn't change a thing, nice colours and mood, one of the shots where shaprness IMO is not needed at all.

Bonjour Langaloo.

You've got a very nice reflection effect here, having the Eiffel Tower and the building at the left side in the room.
In the Netherlands they would say "een geluk bij een ongeluk" what means something like "having luck by un-luck?" :o)
Creative work and still answering TE's aim, well done!

Well after seeing how you took this photo it explains why its not too sharp. well jsut as Mt Cheam is a landmark in my town ... (not a very good comparison ) the Eiffel Tower is in Paris. Its nice to see something and then capture it. Somewhere if you were to click on Paris or France in Trek there is this fella who posted a shot from the bottom of ther Eiffel looking up from one if the bottom corners with a really wide angle. It really looks cool. Nice interior shot.

HHi Langaloo.
Is a very surprising effect. Thanks for share.

For an accident, it came out as a great shot. If you were trying to do it on purpose, it would probably take all night to get right. I think it's great.
