I mean Paris is the City of Light, right? So what better subject to look for? Anyway, that's what I did, I shot the light whenever I saw it was beautiful.
I was blessed by having nearly ten days of clouds, and I took full advantage of it.
On days that it rained, I went out and photographed the rain, it was glorious as well.
And then a funny thing happened, I kept seeing the same light on all the buildings and after a while it was starting to bore me, it all started looking the same. So I spent a couple days not shooting the light and just snapping street scenes that piqued my interest. I shot in museums, cafes, restaurants, farmers markets, and got some fun shots like this 4-shot vertical panorama of Napoleon III grand salon in the Louvre.
A few days later on the street, I hit on something that interested me again, optometrists' signs; so I got my groove back and started shooting on theme again.
I won't bore you with all of them, but suffice to say I have a bunch of good ones that I'm happy with. Playing with them in Lightroom processing led me to desaturating all but the primary color of the signs. I'm still jet lagged from the 24 hour travel day, so I will continue tomorrow.
