correction, for this particular photo, I believe is shot in one frame, and is in high ISO, unlike many other photos of his.
I spent a weekend in Paris last month just before heading to Iceland for my epic road trip. My luck with the weather was alright, half good half bad. My luck was much better with the public transport since it was free for all 4 days that I was in Paris. It was to encourage people not to drive since the air pollution was pretty bad.
This was my 3rd time in Paris (1st time since I became really serious in photography), so I didn't really enter many attractions except for those that I really wanted to shoot. I was quite unlucky in this aspect because part of the interior of Sainte Chapelle was under renovation, and the part of Arc de Triomphe that was facing the sunset was under renovation too, so I had to make some changes to my plans.
Gears used for this trip:
Canon EOS 6D
Canon 17-40mm f4L
Canon 40mm f2.8
Canon 85mm f1.8
Canon 70-200mm f2.8L IS

To start things off (not in any order), here's a shot taken from the top of Montparnasse Tower, which in my opinion, has the best view of Paris. Unlike in the past, they now have glass barricades with a small opening for you to stick your camera through. I thought it would not matter much but I was wrong! My tripod's maximum height was just slightly shorter than the glass barricade, and hence I could not set it up steadily. It was a frustrating night and as a result of the strong winds, I was unable to get a clear shot for any exposure longer than one second, and had to use high ISO after it turned dark.
