Paris La Defense - Sky Bridge
Made by GlobeTrotter 2000
Paris La Defense is a major business district for the city of Paris. The district is at the westernmost extremity of Paris' 10 km long Historical Axis, which starts at the Louvre in Central Paris and continues along the Champs-Elysees, well beyond the Arc de Triomphe before culminating at La Defense. Around its 110-metre (360 ft)-high Grande Arche and esplanade, the district holds many of the Paris urban area's tallest high-rises. With its 77.5 acres, its 72 glass-and-steel slick buildings including 14 high-rises above 150 metres (490 ft), its 150,000 daily workers and 3.5 million square metres of office space, La Defense is Europe's largest business district.

divine light at the big ark... :-)
Made by *bratan*
pic taken at La Defense (paris surroudings) This is the original framing and I did an HDR from 3 RAW shots. I changed the sky, which was originally blue without clouds (the new one is composed with 2 skies in HDR and blended). Because the sky was also blue on the sphere, I used to copy and paste a part of the new one and add it on the sphere with a light fusion. the last step after blending all layers was to select the sphere and make a strong contrast with the background. As always in my pics, there are some basic adjustements... That's it :-)) The ray you see here is just Divine :-)))))))))) wish you a Holy week-end dear friends! :-))


Paris La Defense - Grande Arche
Made by GlobeTrotter 2000
The La Grande Arche de la Defense is a monument and building in the business district of La Defense to the west of Paris, France. The Arche is almost a perfect cube; it has been suggested that the structure looks like a four-dimensional hypercube projected onto the three-dimensional world. It has a prestressed concrete frame covered with glass and Carrara marble from Italy. In addition, the Arche is placed so that it forms a secondary axis with the two highest buildings in Paris, the Tour Eiffel and the Tour Montparnasse. Explored: Highest Position: #64 Digital Blending of 3 exposures (+/- 2EV)


France - Paris - La Defense - looking up - blue sq - Topaz 02
Made by Darrell Godliman
I'm happy to admit this photo of the Grande Arche was inspired by others I'd seen on Flickr. I've given it my (almost) trademark sq crop / blue tint treatment to give it a bit of a twist. From Wikipedia : The Arche is almost a perfect cube (width: 108m, height: 110m, depth: 112m); it has been suggested that the structure looks like a four-dimensional hypercube (a tesseract) projected onto the three-dimensional world. It has a prestressed concrete frame covered with glass and Carrara marble from Italy and was built by the French civil engineering company Bouygues.

France - Paris - La Defense - Bridge 02 mono sq
Made by Darrell Godliman
This is taken on a footbridge linking two of the La Defense skyscrapers. It took a while to wait for this shot as it was lunchtime and the bridge was full of people going to and fro. I liked this figure though as his hunched shoulders seemed to say something about the drudgery of the '9 to 5'. I hadn't done many of these 'blue tinted, Topaz Adjust with a bit of diffusion' shots in a while but I'm making up for it with these Paris shots. Somehow it does seem to suit contemporary architecture quite well.


France - Paris - La Defense - Lift structure - sepia
Made by Darrell Godliman
Seen here is the hi-tech styled lift up to the roof of the Grande Arche, unfortunately it's now closed with no news of a possible re-opening. From Wikipedia : After a non-injury accident in the elevators in April of 2010, the Department of Ecology, owner of the roof of the Grande Arche, has decided to permanently close the computer museum, restaurant, and viewing deck. Access to the roof is still possible via the elevators in the north and south walls, but they are closed to the public.


[Advent Calendar - day 10/25] - Hesitation
Made by Sylvain_Latouche
[#6 ON EXPLORE & FRONTPAGE!] Hesitation to post this picture because, the framing is bad, because the composition is not well-balanced, because of many other details. Tentation because when I took it, I was really happy because I got the ray of the sun as I wanted to get it... Finally, I didn't have enough time today to take any picture, so I upload this one. Maybe you won't like it; but I was happy when I took it... ;) Have a great day everybody ! ;)

.... this is probably my last post this week, because I unfortunately will not have the possibility to be here often with you. I am so sad that I did not have the time to comment on your streams last past days, but I will do my best from time to time. Pic taken at La Defense (paris surroundings) I take the opportunity to wish an Happy Birthday to our oustanding big shark Anne-Marie :-)) Enjoy your week dear friends and sorry again...


France - Paris - La Defense - Sculpture
Made by Darrell Godliman
I definitely seem to prefer a high impact post-production style at the moment. The colours in this shot from La Defense of the Tête Monumentale” by the sculptor Igor Mitoraj are hardly naturalistic having turned down the red, yellow and magenta saturation and added a bit to the blue, cyan and green. Still, an interesting looking thumbnail definitely helps get you noticed on Flickr.


Paris #14 prescan
Made by Thomas Birke
This is a vertical version of the same scene as #13 - you can see more of the elevated roads there, I like that! Also I exposed this one stop longer, this gave me more room with the colour adjustments and I could get rid of some of the blue cast. thomasbirke.com


Reflection at La Défense
Made by *bratan*
Dear friends, I am so sorry for being absent since yesterday. Will try to show your streams tonight :-)) Here is the original shot, a very classic one at this place and it is the reason why I reframed it and I added a multicolored filter with some play on the contrasts. Have a great day!
