There is an elevator that goes to the top of the Eiffel Tower which is 986 feet high. Coming off the elevator you’re inside an enclosed area but a short stairway allows you to reach a platform that is outside. This shot of the Trocadero with the fountains in the foreground was taken from that platform. It was a windy day and the tower was moving enough that I had to increase the shutter speed to get this in focus.
Very good, John. It’s always nice to view images taken from the tower; especially great ones like yours that have a lot of detail and clarity.
Thanks Mike. The lens is the key. I know Leica lenses are costly but if you shop you can buy them used and boy are they worth it.
I also use Leica and of course agree with you. I’ve been enjoying Leica sharpness and contrast – so much so that I don’t shoot a lot of colour these days!
Yes, and your B&W’s are very good. I’ll be putting some up in the coming days. Had some cloudy days which helps the conversions look good.
