i am from paris - france and here some pictures i took yesterday evening
don't hesitate to correct my english !!

Great composition. You can really see the different quality of the lights in some of the top pictures. THe bottom ones are really well thought out and interesting.

# 4 has a piece in the bottom right that could be cropped perhaps.
#3 is slightly green, though I think I sort of like it like that.
#2 is engaging, interesting and curious. You must really be into geometry.

Great shots indeed. I liked the fact that your gallery had no Paris cliche shots but I guess when you live there you look past the 'usual' tourist shots.

I'm interested to know what the last picture is of.

Welcome to the forum!

I like your 2nd shot of the Arab Institute? by Jean Nouvel. Was there a art installation at night?

thank you guys
it is my first evening.. here in paris it is 23h, in this forum

thank you for all your nice comments
you are right geni it is "l'institut du monde arabe"
where there is a nice exhibition about ancient egypt inside
and every night all the institute is illuminate

heyy ajo43 do you want a picture from the eiffel tower ?,
i live in paris and as you said i prefer taking pictures of
other things that usual parisian "cliché"

have a nice day

Welcome! I believe you are our first French poster!

Boy what a city to own a D70 in! I like the last one personaly... Why? Dont know just like it!

thank you MHD
i promise i will show you some nice side of my city

Bienvenue tintin - welcome to the forum and for a first post some very interesting pics. I also like the last pic and would love to know what it is!

Hope to see lots more pics of your lovely city

Chris

so Sirhc55
my last picture represent a sort of long ruler (or meter ??) we can found
on each side of "la Seine" the river in paris, it for measure
the height of the water, cuz at the end of winter there are some
swelling, the biggest on happened in 1910 and you can see he mark in this picture

Very nice and abstact pics Tintin, very artistic, although i would expect nothing less from a Parisian

I especially love the 'Nocturne' photo. It reminds me of someone else's style, but i can't remember who's. It's very well composed though. I like the way the NO expands to the left of the frame, outside of the circle.

The water height level is also called a 'Plimsoll Line.' You can also find them on the sides of ships although they go the other way and show how deep the draught is so you know how much weight is being carried.

Merci for showing us your work. I look forward to seeing more shots of yours from paris.

Nice Tintin - love 1,2, and 4. Paris is a beautiful city.

Lovely work Tintin. You certainly have an eye for picking out the beauty in what may otherwise seem a bland view.

I love the lonely leaf in Shot 3... to me it's quite thought-provoking: despite the modern built environment trying to overtake Nature, she still leaves little reminders lying around...

Is that your shadow in the lower right of Shot 1?

I really look forward to seeing more of your work.

Simon.

Beautiful images Tintin, thanks for showings us at the other side of the world your work. Were you standing in the Seine when you took the photo of the ruler?

Beautiful pictures. I absolutely can not wait to go to Paris.

some nice work Tintin,
is that your shadow in the bottom left in the first pic.
I like the idea in your first shot kinda like a comic strip separation maybe crop away a little of the top left would have given it me of that feel. btw i love doing french class back in highschool. most of the class were of vietnamese orign and the when we were introduced the french pharse "thankyou very much " or " merci becoup( mind the spelling)"

they all laughed their heads off. i guess thats why the french wasnt popular back in the ages.

Il fallait que je dise quelque chose en francais pour vous bienvenue. J'ai passe deux ans la-bas (au sud) et j'ai hate de retourner. Ca me fait plaisir de voir un francais ici. J'espere que vous ailliez retourner souvent!

Sorry had to welcome our french friend properly.

i just wake up and read all you nice comments
it makes me very happy to share my pics with people
from the other side of the earth... i think is thanks to that we progress
by knowing other culture, oher way of thinking...

here it is 8H40 in the morning and i have to prepare
for working........
i will write you more this evening (for me), night (for u)

bonne journée a tous : have a nice day
a bientot Dooda pour ecrire en francais

take care

Bonjour, Tintin

Bienvenue

(Sorry, that's about all my highschool French will stretch to)

I love your avatar.

Hello Tintin

Welcome, I love the photos of your city. It is much more interesting than out here where we take photos of sheep or ducks

The French D70 forum is very interesting, I did not know there was Ice Skating in the Eiffel Tower!

Five very interesting photo's! Well done tintin and welcome.

What an amazing thing the internet is, something we all take for granted these days. Take a photo in Paris and 15 minutes later it's out there for the world to see.

Also, I don't want to be picky Killa >>>

>>> but this is actually a 'staff' or 'staff gauge'. I used to install river level monitoring gear throughout Melbourne when I was a wee apprentice.
