Paris Part III - Eiffel Tower

The structure that not to be missed when visiting Paris is the Eiffel Tower.

The tower will blinks at the 10th minute past every hour at night and it looks great! This unintentional shot was taken at F10.0, 5 sec hand held, but turns out to be my favourite shot of the trip.


The blinking tower.

I've told the woman that it'll be a totally different feel standing beneath the tower than watching it anywhere else. It's just so hard to imagine how it was constructed 120 years ago and it was supposed to be a "temporary structure" built for the Exposition Universelle.

Taken at second tier of the tower.

Paris night view from the tower; taken on a tripod at F10.0, 20 sec long exposure, ISO 100.

Another shot taken hand held at F4.5, 1/2 sec, ISO 800; Sony A100's weakness in high ISO is noticeable.

Taken on top of the tower and trust me, it was raining and real windy!

There's a 360 degree world map on top of the tower. Malaisie is 10,433 km away; it's lucky that the French translated Singapore as Singapour and not Singapoor.

It's the most visited and most photographed structure in the world.

I am still struggling to handle flash photography.
