Now that I know how this bridge is called (Bir-Hakeim bridge), I will still continue to call it Inception bridge (after the movie of course :)). It just fits so nicely, with all the repeating pillars and the view you get when you stand in the middle. Like something from a crazy dream :)

This is a three shots HDR, created in Oloneo Photoengine. Photo taken during the morning blue hour.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 3, Camera Model: Sony a7R + Metabones MkIII Adapter, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 16mm, Aperture: 8, Middle exposure time: 8.0s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 48.856510, 2.286782

This came out better than I expected. The spot was quite busy, with people and cars going through the shot all the time. But somehow, in the middle of taking a series of exposures, there was no one for few seconds, and I got the shot :)

It was also quite fun running around the area, trying to find the best puddle to get a nice reflection. Surprisingly, haven’t seen many photographers do the same :)

This is a blend from two exposures, created in Photoshop.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 2, Camera Model: Sony a7R + Metabones MkIII Adapter, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 17mm, Aperture: 16, Middle exposure time: 10.0s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 48.855689, 2.297989

It was so busy in front of the Moulin Rouge when I stopped there. Every moment some cars or buses stopped in front of it, so blocking my view. And if those moved, the street got filled with traffic immediately. So in the end, I did mostly shots like this one, more towards a detail than the whole thing :)

This is a blend of two exposures, created in Photoshop. Most of the image is only one exposure, and I used a second, darker one, to tone down the sign.

Let’s continue with a little more wider shot from Paris. This one just includes so much of the city :). You can’t even tell it was taken through a glass window. It was actually quite funny, the looks of all the people around me, when I put my jacket over the camera to shade it :)

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 2, Camera Model: Sony a7R + Metabones MkIII Adapter, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 22mm, Aperture: 6.3, Middle exposure time: 15s, ISO: 200, Tripod used: yes, Location: 48.842261, 2.321754

Back from Paris with many photos to edit. Just hard to choose one to start with, but how about this one from the Alexander bridge.

This is a blend of two shots, one at f3.5 for the background and one at f14 from which I used the stature. Other than that, I only toned down the highlight a little in Lightroom and added sharpness.
