The moment they turn on the first lights on a landmark, it always look different than few minutes later. It was the same for the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière in Lyon. The first lights were of the inside areas, and they even were much yellower for few seconds. And this is what I got here :)

I’m always to lazy to use the stairs, but the moment my goal is a photo, I immediately climb up to the tallest thing I can find :) And today is of course the same, when I visited the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière. I understood nothing from the guides explanations (as it was all in french), but at least I got a great view from the top :)

Looks like the bad weather followed me from Amsterdam to Lyon, so it does not look that promising today. So for now, here is a photo I took yesterday evening, when I took a short walk around the center (I was just dead tired).
This is a single exposure, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop. Mostly I just removed the blurred people on the bridge :)
I really do a lot more vertoramas since I have the tilt-shift lens. So here is another one I took one late evening in Paris.

A little tip for Photoshop. If you hate the start screen, that shows you your recent opened files as much as I do (it slows down the opening of Photoshop for me, as my files are on different, not just local, hard-drives), there is a simple way to turn it off, and have Photoshop as it used to be few version back.
So to turn it off, go to Edit/Preferences/General and find “Show Start Workspace When No Documents Are Open” and just remove the check-mark.
To be fair, everything almost everything looks tiny under the Eiffel tower. I really like these shots I got using the tilt shift lens in Paris. Having a foreground element while taking a photo of such a huge building is just wonderful.
