PEOPLE AND PLACES ( PARIS)- SEPTEMBER 2010

Objective to look for colour but also to try to capture images which can

be used in next course " People and Places".

I saw this couple looking up at the base of the Eiffel Tower, I also noticed the man

approaching trying to sell his miniature towers. I think the concept of this image works

but I am disappointed as the sun was so bright the images seems to contrasty and the dark

shadow loose some of the detail.

f 14 1/80 sec

I noticed these ladies approaching with there contrasting fleece jackets on
I wanted to capture them as  colour accent as they passed for an potential image
for assignment 3 I have cropped some of the detail below which might be an used in the
assignment

f 4.5 1/160 sec

 Looking again at colour contrast and also composition and subject
as the first image I like the concept but the high sun has created deep shadows
which hide some of the detail

f8 1/125 sec

I am really pleased with this image of a human statue at the base of Montmare
I like the fact that the stairs and the statue are on a line of a third and I also like
the contrast of the green grass and the monotone steps

A sunbather on a September day....

Trying to  loose my inhibitions and actually feel comfortable taking photos of people.
I like the image of capturing the moment and the relationship of the painter and the subject
