Artist's Comments

Well, just about everything in this world has been photographed. And this structure, probably more than almost anything else in the world. So my challenge is always to find a new ways of looking at things. I got up at 5:30am and got my self to the Eiffel Tower just in time to see the sun rise. It's been said before that one of a photographer's most important tools is an alarm clock. I have to agree there. Shooting outside early in the morning not only gives you great light, but also allows you to be alone. The only other people around were a few cleaners trying to keep up with the scattered detritus of the previous day's tourist crowds, and a trio of soldiers with serious looking automatic weapons. It was rewarding to get some shots without people in them. This is the first of a small series.

Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap, but memories are priceless.

Isn’t there some limitation on taking photos of the Eiffel tower??
You can’t take photos at night…what’s all this about?
Great pic btw…love the perspective

I was going to mention that you got lucky there was no one around. Then I read your comment. Five thirty AM, now there's dedication!

Great perspective on the Eiffel Tower. That wide angle lens is serving you well. I'm looking forward to the next shots in this series!
