Ian Bramham's Photoblog
This the first photo in a series of images that I took in the Paris underground Metro system...it was a bit of an experiment for me as I would never normally get the chance to try taking photos in a place like this.

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.

Just a bit of fun, but this is one of my favourite photos with my new DSLR. I've submitted it for publication in JPG magazine. You can vote for it's inclusion here: JPG Magazine

@Momo: Thanks Momo....I appreciate it!
@Momo: Yes, thanks for the warning. At first I thought it was just the site that was down but they had changed the link address to the voting page for my blog!
It's fixed now thanks. It's really interesting to see how the major sites like 'Chromasia' are really pulling away now in the voting....I can only imagine how many visitors they must get to their photoblogs, but then they are often full-time professional operations not something like yours or mine where we fit things in around work and family when we can grab a few minutes :-)
@the lightwriter: Thanks...the photo composed itself really as it was one of those shots which seemed to almost take itself :-)
@GJC: Thanks very much GJC!....although I don't always succeed with the framing or composition it's certainly a quality that I value highly and I always try to do the best I can. It's one of those areas in photography where there's always something new to learn from the way others work.
@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine...it's always fun to experiment with something new isn't it!
@Laurie: Thanks very much Laurie!
@tom: Thanks very much Tom!
@amy: Thanks Amy!...funny that you should use that expression 'film noire' as its the wording for the theme of a JPG Magazine entry for a different photo that I did a while ago (see the link at the header of my page)
@danthro: Thanks very much Danthro!
@Guillermina: I'm really pleased that you liked it Guillermina!.....it was just one of those photos that presented itself...the stair was so wonderful even on its own but I waited to get this single person in the shot at the top as well. I was really lucky as the metro was quite busy and there were lots of people using these stairs (with most of them wondering who the nutcase was with the camera at the bottom :-)
@See The Light: Thanks very much Mary!
@pedro alexandre: Thanks Pedro....I'm really pleased you liked it!
