Paris at night
The last stop on the tour was beautiful Paris. I stayed for two nights with the tour and then spent another two nights with a friend of a friend. It was awesome to live like the locals do. I stayed in an apartment building that seriously looked like it had been around since the war, or earlier. it had once of those spiral staircases that went all the way to the sixth or seventh floor. walking around in spiral for that many floors is NOT fun. I even got to do my laundry at a local laundromat. had my share of croque-madames, croque monsieurs and almond pastries for breakfast. it was so cool. I'd definitely go back to Paris. in a heartbeat. Here are some of my favourite niteshots.
Opera Garnier (where the famed legend of its infamous phantom originated, apparently there is an underground lake underneath that is not open to the public - COOL)
L'Arc de Triomphe
Gustave's masterpiece

the key is a tripod. Exposure times depends on what you want to be in focus. i generally set them at longer exposure times with smaller f-stops. f16, or 22. that is only part of the job. the other is the kind of camera you use (FILM-all the way) and quality and angle of your lens. I use lenses that most people don't have access to on a regular point and shoot. Between 3 lenses i have a range between 19-300mm.
