Paris by night...

Here are a few shots of Paris by night. Taking pictures by night I find are quite difficult a task. Indeed, the natural light outside is so dim, even in a big city like Paris that it is very important that you use a tripod or a piece of the local architecture like a bridge or a bench. This will give you the stability you need to reduce or eliminate the noise created by movement blurs.

Here are some examples of what you can do at night: 

The Eiffel Tower

What creates the dynamism in this shot in the clouds in the background.

The Alexander III bridge - Paris

The Seine - Paris

View from a bridge - Paris

Here is a series of photographs I could call Paris from the bridges. It's in black in white which enhance the city lights, the lights on the Eiffel Tower or the headlights on the cars.

Normally I am not happy when I see that the sky is overcast but I can say that it makes effectively dynamic shots. Indeed, even if the clouds are frozen at a particular time as everything else is on photos, it gives this sense of mouvement, of life, of activity which define any city but especially Paris.
