A few people here will be aware that I went to Paris last weekend on an assignment for a photography magazine. Don't want to say too much more on that as it will be published in a few weeks anyway (the deadline was brutal considering I have a full-time job as well!), but as the assignment involved a pretty long walk I managed to squeeze in a few brief moments of 'tourist photography' during my walk to and from the assignment locations (I've retained full rights to all my images).
So this is a very brief, random selection of shots from a very short and intense trip to Paris, of which I allowed approx. 15 minutes for my own photos. I've not included any of the images that will form part of the assignment, will have to wait for the magazine for those.
As always, all handheld (although using the floor for the Louvre shots, and balancing the D90 on a bridge support for the Eiffel shots), and I think all were taken with the Nikon D90 and Nikon 18-200 VR (which is an absolute peach of a lens, the best 'slow' lens I've ever used), the one of the govt. building with the car passing in front is handheld in driving rain and high winds at 1/10sec, I love VR!
and something a little different as I wanted an eye catching 'pop-art' style piece to go in the little folder I create about my photography experiences this year...
On a general note, loved Paris. If I can find a cheap flight I will go back for a weekend again at some point, the place is built for photography.

If nothing else I wanted to demonstrate VR, the conditions really were awful yet this was completely handheld at 1/10 (and ISO1250), not so long ago that shot would have been nigh on impossible handheld.
