Ian Bramham's Photoblog
The rhythm of streetlights and trees along a walkway below street level on the banks of the River Seine in the heart of Paris.
The river was full that night....another few inches of water and this walkway would have been part of the river.

@alun lambert: Thanks very much Alun.....I know it's not a mainstream photo but I love B&W and had to post this one!
@hugo poon: Thank you Hugo.....I realise that it's a far from perfect image however I do like it more than many of my more technically superior ones.
@Guillermina: Guillemina.....thanks very much for replying to that query of mine from tuesday.
The reason that I asked is that I too prefer today's shot over the one from tuesday although technically of course it's not as good and I realise that it's never going to be as popular.
From what I've seen over the last 9 months of posting photos here, B&W images are far less popular than colour and in any case, this particular photo isn't exactly mainstream is it!
The technical faults with this photo are numerous, from the dark patch 3/4 of the way along the line of trees which interrupts the rythm to the fact that it's not an easy image to read at first sight; nevertheless it invokes more of an emotional reaction in me than the technically superior and 'prettier' one from tuesday.
@haisea: Thanks heisea.....that's very kind of you!
@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine....you know how much i love night photography!
@Luis: Thanks Luis!
@tom: Thanks very much Tom!
@Damon Schreiber: Thanks for taking the time to look at the large version Damon - I appreciate it!
@Guillermina: Part of the reson I love photography so much is the almost equal balance between the frustrating times and the rewarding ones - normally they don't both come together in one photo like this one but I'm sure that's part of why i like it so much!
@John Leech: Hi John......yes, usually the reasons that I like a photo are difficult to rationalise!
@KimberlyC: Thanks very much Kim.....I'm so pleased that you liked it!
