Clouds invading Paris – Plotagraph

I spend today evening in Mikulov in Czech republic. And while I got quite a few photo, who know if they are good. I have arrived only recently, and have not had time too look at them. But with how crazy windy it was, I’m not that hopeful. If it worked out, you will see a photo from there tomorrow :)

But for today, here is another Plotagraph I made, this time of this very cloudy view of Paris, taken from the top of the Tour Montparnasse.

Low sun over Paris

I looked a bit through my old photo of Paris, and decided to edit one of the panoramas I took there already years ago. How time flies. The sharpness is not as good as on the photos from the 5D mark IV, but it still looks good.

This is a three shot panorama taken from the top of the Tour Montparnasse. I did three exposures for every shot, and then I also took most of the shot with my hand in front of the sun. Like this I could completely remove any lens flares that showed up in the photos. Combined in PTgui and finished in Photoshop.

And here are few details:

Evening at the bridge in Paris

You may wonder, why I have so many photos from this area in Paris. The reason is simple. As I work for a cruise ship company, I’m usually in Paris on an assignment. And since this is the area where the ships dock, I don’t have that much time during sunset to go any further. So while trying to make the best from the little time I have, I do photos where I am. And that’s the reason :)

So this photo is from one of the many bridges right next to the Eiffel tower. It’s too bad you cant get on the bridge right in front, as that’s a rail bridge, but what can you do :) This is a blend from 3 exposure, edited in Lightroom and blended in Photoshop.

Sunny clouds over Paris – plotagraph

For today, I have for you another Plotagraph. This time I edited one of my Paris photos. And as the clouds were very soft that day, I decide also to go with a very subtle animation, to just give a bit of live into the photo.

And if you want to see the animation points, so how it was done, check out the screenshot on the side. And for more about Plotagraph, check out my How to create plotagraphs tutorial here and my Plotagraph Pro review here.

From up close

It’s a bit hard to get a new view of a classic subject. And one of the options is to try to change the foreground. So for this shot of the Eiffel tower, I went quite close to this plant (I have no idea what it is :)) and tried to fill most of it with it. Of course I also did a vertorama, as I would not get the whole tower otherwise. I think it worked out quite nicely.

This is a three shot vertorama, combined in Lightroom, finished in Photoshop.
