Yellow and blue are such a perfect combination for photos. They always make for a great contrast. Same here with the Tour métallique de Fourvière (“Metallic tower of Fourvière”) in Lyon. And does it not look completely like the top of the Eiffel tower?

This is again a vertorama, from two shots this time. Combined using Lightroom and finished in Photoshop.

When you think about Paris, you really don’t think about the modern parts. It’s really hard to associate modern skyscrapers with Paris. Just so strange :)

This is a three shots vertorama, taken in the La Defense district in Paris. Shot edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

While in Lyon, all of the photo spots I planed were full of very classic, old architecture. But while I was walking through the city, I noticed a photo of this, the Euronews building on one of the promo posters for a ship tour company, so I had to find out what it is, and get a few photos.

This is one of them, a two shot vertorama, taken during the blue hour. Edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

How about a photo from earlier this year, from my spring trip to Paris. I have not been there for a half year, and I would go back again anytime. Always want more photos from Paris :)

For this one, I did a three shot panorama (with the help of the tilt shift lens). Funny thing, most of the time I edited this photos, was spend with removing the trash from the grass, as it was just so distracting :/

While in Lyon, I noticed that they like to use crazy strong lights on the bridge pylons. Almost at every bridge. I had to do 5 exposure here, where mostly I can get by with 1 to 2. And still, I could have gone darker.

For this photo I first did a HDR tone mapped version, but I did not like the result, so I started from scratch again, and manually blended together the exposures to get this result.
