Photos from Paris, Days 4 and 5 uploaded!
I’ve spent the better part of this past weekend plowing through two more days worth of Paris photos. Photos from Day 4 and Day 5 have been uploaded to my Flickr page.
You’ll remember from my previous posts that much of Day 4 was spent riding around the Hop-On, Hop-Off bus and photographing the Arc de Triomphe, the Paris Opera House, and the Moulin Rouge. My favorite photos from Day 4 below:






Day 5, as you might recall, we spent almost the entire day visiting Sacre Coeur and walking the narrow streets of Montmartre. We finished off early that day catching some fire jugglers in front of Notre Dame at night. Here are a few of my favorites from Day 5:









Alas, only one more day of photos to process! Yes, we were in Paris for a little more than 7 days but on Friday, our last full day, I decided to leave the camera in the hotel room. We were just planning on staying in the Latin Quarter and 6 days of carrying 20 pounds of equipment was enough. I’m hoping to get Day 6 photos processed and uploaded by Wednesday. I’m actually looking forward to processing Day 6 because even I haven’t really seen them yet… I left them on the camera because my laptop had run out of space by Thursday.
Also, a few of you have asked when and if I plan on selling any of the Paris photos. The answer is yes. I will be uploading the best of the best to my online gallery as soon as I’m done processing all of them. If you have any requests or inquiries about a specific photo that you might be interested in, please let me know below:

Also, stay tuned as I will be posting a wrap-up of my trip soon which will include some tips for photographing Paris, things I would have done differently, and things I would do again. Cheers!














Wonderful work, congratulations!!!
I’m thinking visit Paris next year and I would like to ask you what kind of lenses did you take with you in order to get these amazing photos and if you can give some tips about the processing that you follow to get the special mood on your B&W photography, that would be great.
Hi Cesar! Thanks!
The two lenses I took with me were the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L and the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens.
As for the post-processing, I turned some of the photos into high dynamic range (HDR) photos. There’s a great tutorial on this here.
As for the others, I just did simple contrast, saturation, sharpening in Aperture.
Good luck!
Great set of photos… my favourite is definitely the black and white one of the Arc de Triomph (2nd one down of the main shots)
Thanks Mark! That’s one of my favorites, as well…
