Up The Eiffel

[cjogo]

Super Wide from below

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?

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.

Pretty noisy -- if I open up any shadows == would have to  spot for two days  

Lot more detail here  .. but when you expose for the highlights -- not much to be left in the Zones 5-3.

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.

(I don't intend to hijack the thread: if anyone objects, I'll take my shot down.)

Wish this was a SLR camera -- and would had been much easier in the daylight hours , too.  That little finder made it somewhat difficult  

Up side down ~  with the head totally cocked  > and my tri-focals up against this little jewel --good luck

Can I object to your taking it down, Jeremy?  The original is a fine image, but more shadow detail would be appreciated.

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!

Shadow detail === grain

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.

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.

NICE!

These days, a premium credit card is a big help but it doesn't always work.

Which just goes to prove yet again, were proof necessary, that you shouldn't believe all those financial advertisements.

I feel crestfallen.
