Gargoyle's Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Continuing on my theme of Paris through a 15mm fisheye lens...this view is from the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. Along with the Eiffel Tower, Arc De Triomphe and Louvre this forms one of the more common images on TE. Doesn't stop me from posting my own rendition though :-)

I like this shot alot, great wide angle lens you have on there, and the colours seem to pop out nicely. Obviously this was taken with a great camera...

This is a very high quality shot, the gargoyle seems to be bored of the bird to the right talking. The shot is very clear and the contrast is spectacular. Great shot.

A very good bird's eyeview of your beautiful city. These old figures are kind of comical and funny. Thanks

Great post processing on this one. It's extreme, but it really works to create a moody shot with a lot of character.

A beautiful view of the parvis and the Quai des Orfèvres. With a shot like the this, the world would have known before C.Colomb that the earth is a big sphere ;)

Hi David,
I like your " Paris by fisheye ".
this picture reminds me a great one from Curioso .
a good composition with a nice sky.
Well done.

David, really spectacular. The postprocessing and the strong distorsion renew our vision from that great place :)

My only dislike relates to the oversaturated greens which unbalance the scene. But, I love everything else, especially the textures from the stones and the clouds you brought out very well. I just love this shot !
