Harmonious yet different...

I went to London several times but each time I was either to in a hurry or to busy shopping that I did not really take time to photograph London's very interesting and motley architecture. Here are two examples of this peculiar mix of architecture.

Here is a shot of the Millennium Bridge leading to Saint-Paul's cathedral. You can see that these two pieces of architecture, although harmonious, show how cities like London or New York mix their architecture to bring charm to the urban landscape.

Here is a shot taken in the City of London which is the financial and economical heart of London. In this part of London, the architecture is very modern and consist of numerous buildings with glass walls. I particularly like the building of the left hand side of this photo. The shape is clearly interesting.

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:
