Unfortunately not centered (I know that isn't possible there) but still an awesome shot. Is there any chance to get a little bit of structure into the shadows or is it already dead in the picture?Harald
Yes, it's a fantastic shot. Currently, there's some fences that prevent taking a centered photo. Anyway, with the usual crowd, it's a difficult or near impossible task.
You can get fairly square underneath (or at least you could a couple of years ago). Sadly, I didn't have a sufficiently wide angle and I failed to stitch.Jeremy(I don't intend to hijack the thread: if anyone objects, I'll take my shot down.)
Can I object to your taking it down, Jeremy? The original is a fine image, but more shadow detail would be appreciated.Mike.
Currently, there's some heavy work on the 1st floor of Tour Eiffel and it's impossible to get underneath, at the center... (see snapshot).We were lucky, Jeremy!
We were indeed. On the other hand, when I was in Barcelona a couple of months ago, almost the whole of the outside of the Sagrada Familia was shrouded in netting; and the queue to get in was a good 200 yards long. So my timing's not perfect, alas.Jeremy
One can't win all the time. Actually, I was also lucky in Paris as I wasn't there for photography.
I'm reliably assured that it's remarkably easy to get lucky in Paris - all you need is a healthy credit card.Rob C
These days, a premium credit card is a big help but it doesn't always work.
