Ian Bramham's Photoblog
Rue Cortot, Paris
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 12 January 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
This is yet another in a series of photos that I took at night in Paris using a tripod.....although in this case I used my tiny Fuji F31 compact camera just for the sheer fun of using it again for the first time since getting a DSLR about 6 weeks ago.
It looked a bit bizarre with such a tiny camera on top of such a large tripod and I couldn't help smiling as I took this photo......I hope that you can see how much I was enjoying myself and that you like these pics as much as I do!

HOT TIP FOR ALL AM3 CONTRIBUTORS :
I've been having problems for ages with my uploaded landscape orientated images looking fuzzy and not as sharp as they should be....well I finally found the answer recently in an answer by Jason Kravitz to a query in the forums .....if you too have been having this problem the answer is to make sure you resize your photos to a maximum horizontal dimension of 800 pixels (vertical size is not limited). Anything greater than 800pixels and AM3 will automatically resize it leading to the reduction in sharpness.
Please feel free to copy and paste this advice into your own AM3 blogs as I'm sure there are lots of our fellow AM3ers out there having this same frustrating problem...it would be great to sort the problem out for as many of us as possible.

Beautiful shot! I love this - the wet cobblestones, the gentle street lights, the lack of people. It's really wonderful.

Could very well be a Van Gogh with the effect of those street lamps! And what a beautiful salmon-pink? brick-orange? a mix of both? sky.
