Christmas eve 2005 - Paris

it was rainy and cold but the french spirit and 6500+Kelvin set on my camera gave me warm feelings of christmas in the most romantic city in the world

i shot these mainly with a 50mm f1.4 at ISO1600 hand held
just outside Saint Germain de Pres metro station

Great shots well executed...interestingly I think the same type of shots taken say in Sydney wouldn't have the same feel. The enviroment you've captured is special, I love the paved road, the iron railings and the buildings.

love the first wendel.

very different from your usual fare.
I find that it is usually possible to identify your shots by their distintive style,
this one fooled me.

well done.

I love the perspective in #3 and the movement is perfect.

I'm not too sure on the WB setting though - I like warm shots but to me these are too yellow and not enough red/orange. That said, it does create a unique feel to them. Well done :D

If you've got any more, please post them too.

Lovely warm tones in these images Wendell. #2 has a timeless feel to it. It almost looks like it could have been shot in the 30's (okay, maybe without the Smart car in the b/g :) ).
