I hate shooting handheld. Not sure if my hands hake to much, but the shots almost always come out blurry. Or maybe I’m just too strict on what I find as acceptable sharpness. And the photo I’m sharing today, was taken handheld. The top of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris is a strict no tripod zone, with few people around always checking that you don’t use one. And even the railing (if you could call it that) is so horrible, that you can’t even brace the camera on it. So all you can do is handheld.

So here I used a very fast shutter speed, which was quite possible with how sunny the day it was, but I would still preferred a smaller aperture, but I rather went safe than sorry. This is a single exposure, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.
