Suivez le guide (Weekend Street/Reflections # 146)

 Paris, France

The man in front had an interesting style and perhaps an even more interesting gait. I think a video would have captured it better. 😀                                     

                             Have a great weekend!

"Street photography is a genre of photography that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge."

Image à la sauvette (Weekend Street/Reflections #145)

 

Paris, France

When I take street pictures, I usually try to anticipate what's going to happen next. Watching all the moving pieces in relation to stationary objects.  Always hoping for the right things to fall in place in order to make an interesting photo. 

On this day I was walking near Galeries Lafayette when I noticed a group of people crossing the street from my left and a truck coming from the opposite direction. The green-haired woman caught my eye and so did the caption on the side of the truck that said "C'est bon de se mettre au vert" (It's good to go green). I remember thinking <I wish I had enough time to take off the lens cap and snap a picture at the precise moment the caption was above her head.>

But it all took place in just a few seconds.

After wasting time thinking about it I took the shoot a split second too late, but thankfully all the elements were still in the frame. Later when I looked at the photo I realized I had two chances to get the shot I wanted. "Green is the new black" would have worked too. 😀

An Evening at L'Opéra (Weekend Reflections # 285)

Paris, France

This is a reflection of the Opéra Garnier. And as you can see on the backward/reflected street signs, it's also a reflection of the intersection of Ave. de Opéra and Blvd. des Capucines. Try not to notice that part of my hand is reflected in the bottom left corner. :-)

Happy Reflecting!

L'Opéra Garnier (Weekend Reflections # 204)

Paris, France                                               (Palais Garnier - Opéra national de Paris)

 

Looking at the front of the Palais Garnier/the old Paris Opera House, you will see two gilded bronze statues by Charles Alphonse Gumery, L'Harmonie on the left, and La Poesie (Poetry) on the right.

 Last week's reflection was L'Harmonie so this week we have La Poesie on the right side of this photo and reflected in the window on the left.

Congratulations to Malyss for being the first to share the name of the building and the place of the statue!

Église de la Sainte-Trinité (Weekend Reflections #193)

Paris, France    (Église de la Sainte-Trinité/Church of the Holy Trinity reflected in a window) "The Église de la Sainte-Trinité is a Roman Catholic church located in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, France. The church is a building of the Second Empire period, built between 1861 and 1867 at a cost of almost 5 million francs." -wikipedia

I think the mannequin was enjoying the view almost as much as I was.

Have a wonderful weekend!
