That's right. The better my technique the fewer great mistakes I make. Really like how the light is coming from a few different directions with one clearly dominant.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

J'aime beaucoup ce flou!

Wooo. The long shadows appear to be coming from ghostly figures!
Sometimes some good suprises when not using automatic settings! :-)
I love that the shadows are more solid than the figures! Excellent photo, even if unintentional...
And sometimes it doesn't! :~} In this case, however . . . I just love these "ghostly" figures strolling on the quai, V.
I really like the lines in this...great composition and it works beautifully with the "ghostly" folks!!!
Love, love this Virginia... xv
Hey! Isn't he supposed to be in the opera house?
Marvelous!

Great shot!
Et en plus, cela évite de flouter les visages !
