"Paris is always a good idea."
Audrey Hepburn
Paris, the world's most popular city destination, has plenty of must-see
places most of which I indeed visited in just four days. Besides I did make sure to
spend time strolling off the beaten path, sit in cafe's and just look around to discover the real Paris: a lively cosmopolitan but undeniably
French city.
I had planned to shoot a lot. But ended up shooting a lot less. Firstly
because I wanted to feel and sense without interruptions but also
because I realized how difficult landscape shooting is for me as I don't do
that much. I thought I didn't have any pictures but after arriving home and
starting to edit I saw I had captured the most of my Paris after all. I ended
up loving this series of my Paris photos. They are for me to live and love
again every minute of my journey. Hope you like them too!

Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteParis under such a great sky absolutely fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful set of images. Love the processing too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a truly beautiful travelogue. I feel as though I walked the streets of Paris with you. You captured the essence of this beautiful city in such a genuine way. I can't chose a favorite, but the image of the artist at work touches my heart. I especially appreciate how you processed the images to give a soft and faded perspective to the entire post. These images could grace the page of any magazine or book and be right at home.
ReplyDeleteI am not good with landscapes either - close-ups are much easier! You did a fantastic job though - amazing pictures! The photo of the geraniums on the balcony is like a painting and the Moulin Rouge at night it great! The photo of the artists reminded me of when I went to Paris on a high school trip and had my portrait drawn in charcoal by an artist under the Eiffel Tower. I thought that was just a random person - didn't know it was such an established part of the city.
ReplyDeleteI think you captured it very well. Such lovely photos. I know when we were in Paris I wanted to take way more than I did, we were on a tour and I felt rushed all the time.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness ... i have always wanted to go to Paris ... after seeing your photos i now know that i need to go! If they were for sale i would buy each and every one of them! love...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos of Paris with this special Vintage touch. Amazing !
