Kinetic Energy
Uploaded: October 13, 2005
f/16.0, 1.6 sec, 28mm, ISO 100. The foreground is a small carousel right across the street from the Eiffel Tower. Not a fancy one, just a cheap carnival-type carousel. I took about a dozen pictures of different perspectives of the tower and carousel. Since I didn't have a tripod, I took advantage of some convenient trees next to the carousel to steady the camera.

Thanks for the comments. The foreground is a small carousel right across the street from the Eiffel Tower. Not a fancy one, just a cheap carnival-type carousel. I took about a dozen pictures of different perspectives of the tower and carousel. Since I didn't have a tripod, I took advantage of some convenient trees next to the carousel to steady the camera. After I posted this here, I re-postprocessed the image to brighten up the tower a bit and remove the noise that I inadvertantly added the first time around. (I was never really happy with the version you see here.) -Shawn #2137784Melody Molinaro November 30, 2005
Wow you have a very creative eye. I love it! What a great image. A+++++++++++++++++++++ #2137787Nancy Wilson November 30, 2005
Thanks for writing about the shot. I have photographed the Eiffel Tower during several trips to Paris but wasn't familiar with this viewpoint. What a great shot. Nancy #2138539Mary Clarke November 30, 2005

Great image, congrats! #2139154Edward J. Endicott November 30, 2005
I like the image - it's terrific. Very clear and great effects.Not sure if you're aware though (just to let you know - not trying to be negative) pictures of the Eiffel Tower at night are copyrighted so be careful if you try to sell. Has something to do with their light show.
Congratulations! #2139315
