Paris - Celebrating Five Years on POTN

[Wazza]

Just noticed it's now been five years since I signed up to this great forum. Around the same time as fellow kiwi and serial talker, tim. Thanks again to Pekka and mods for continual support of this place, and the great friendly community which keeps it better than others out there. :}

I spent 4 days in Paris with a great friend, as we explored the city and each took photos. Many hundreds of photos to share. Already posted a few fun "people" action shots a few weeks back:

Here's a few of the city sights we saw:

Louvre

Eiffel Tower at 2:30am with the lights off - white balance like this to give the eerie feel as it was out there.

Exif is all attached, though I was on London time. 1 hour difference

Absolutely gorgeous shots, Warren. Saves me a trip there.

Warren great shots as always, the missus is talking about going back there and seeing your pictures I will be doing arm twisting.

For what it is worth love the two shots of the Louvre but they are all brilliant

[Cyclop]

Great series.

[SuzyView]

Beautiful! Congratulations on 5 years here! It's a great place to share and to laugh. :) I have never been to Paris, but I hope someday to get there. The images are amazing. Love the water one. :)

[Olli]

Great to have you Warren with us!

And I couldn't remember Paris is so colorful ;) - wonderful shots!

[sillalouwho]

Those are amazing... Almost makes me want to go to Paris!

[SnapsbyPoteat]

these are incredible awesome, what lens did you use for these?

[J_TULLAR]

Great set, question is it true you have to have a permit to use a tripod at the louvre?

[RadAL]

[XxDJCyberLoverxX]

Nice! I love your work! Makes me even more excited about getting more serious with this hobby!

[F/M Bill]

I love #4. Should have titled it forked. The rest are stunning as well.

[Wazza]

Apologies for the delay, my DSL is down at home for the past 3 days! (typical, considering I'm leaving in 3 weeks, . So posting from work quickly before I leave for the day.

Absolutely gorgeous shots, Warren. Saves me a trip there.

Thanks Stan, always a pleasure hearing from you

Warren great shots as always, the missus is talking about going back there and seeing your pictures I will be doing arm twisting.

Thanks Adrian! Well worth heading out there. Book in advance, only about £59 for the train. Ended up paying about £470 for 4 nights + Eurostar for two people. Quite enjoyable weekend with a good friend from NZ

Great series.

Thanks again!

Cheers Suzy, amazing place really! I been talking of visiting, and put it off for two years whilst I've been living in London. Moving back to NZ in a few weeks, so glad I made it across.

Great to have you Warren with us!

And I couldn't remember Paris is so colorful ;) - wonderful shots!

Thanks Olli! Yeah the first couple are HDR, so colours boosted a bit through that process :lol:

Great photos to celebrate 5 years.

Thanks Tommy, always a pleasure

Oh my. Just fantastic!

Cheers Nick :)

wow these are awesome...love them

Thank you, thank you

Those are amazing... Almost makes me want to go to Paris!

Just book already. So many places to visit. I could have posted 100 photos if I a was allowed.. But as I mentioned, some others are on my blog

[Wazza]

these are incredible awesome, what lens did you use for these?

Thanks! All taken with 17-40L with grad ND filters, except for the water shot which was with the 85L

Great set, question is it true you have to have a permit to use a tripod at the louvre?

Thank you. I wasn't aware of any permits required, but didn't even see security out there. Was there from sunset till after midnight, bottle of wine, tripod, shooting, having a laugh. Several others there also with a tripod, but not once did we see security of police. If this was London, would have been told to stop before even erecting the tripod!

nice photos warren, we barely talk now a days lol.

Cheers Alex, must catch up properly soon. If I see you... MSN?

Nice! I love your work! Makes me even more excited about getting more serious with this hobby!

Thanks kindly, helps with a beautiful city like Paris

I love #4. Should have titled it forked. The rest are stunning as well.

Haha, this guy beside me was doing the travel toy shot. I asked if he would mind me taking a shot quickly, as looked funny and cute. Appropriate title. ;)

Great series, Wazza. Isn't Paris a fantastic place to go to? I should go back there with my camera this time!

[Wazza]

Thanks Harm! That's an absolute must. Head back now with your camera. :)

Got home last night to realise my laptop won't fire up. Yet again it's broken. Too much money, too little time to repair before I move back to New Zealand in a few weeks. Will have to suffice surfing online at work.

[rahal]
