Paris 2009 Revisited

View from our hotel, overlooking the Paris School for the Deaf. My favorite HDR photo to date! (Click to see a larger version without leaving the site; works for all images on this page.)

Place de la Concorde, taken after visiting Musée de l’Orangerie.

Looking down the Seine. We were walking across the river on a different bridge, after having ridden the bus from Place de la Concorde.
::

Sainte-Chapelle; this was taken a couple of blocks from the previous picture, about a block from one of our most frequently utilized bus stops.
::

Eiffel Tower from across the river. The clouds are natural (other than the HDR processing).
::

French Senate, Luxembourg Gardens. The gardens begin across the street from where our hotel was located. As a result of its nearness, we enjoyed multiple visits to the park.

I started looking over some of my recent photos to see if any were amenable to HDR processing. While it’s best to use multiple images when creating a High Dynamic Range image, reasonable results can be achieved with just one photo.

Once I got started I ended up creating an HDR photo of the month for 2009 photo series. When I got to the May photos from Paris I guess you could say I got sidetracked, as I ended up creating 10 different Paris HDR photos (the HDR photo of the month will likely appear in the near future).

My favorite 6 are shown above (don’t forget, you can click on any of the images and see a larger version without leaving this site) and the rest are available on Flickr: Paris 2009 (HDR).
