photoblog image Front View of Grande Arche

Front View of Grande Arche

The Grande Arche in La Defense, Paris. Made during my trip of last week. The building is really impressive to see. The height is 110m. You go up in elevators surrounded by glass giving you a nice but a bit scary view. Inside on the top floor there was an exhibition of the history of personal computers. Of course I made a bunch of pictures of them which I'll show you of course.

TECH-INFO: one RAW, developed multiple exposures with some perspective correction (only made horizontal lines fully parallel) in DxO Optics Pro, turned them into an HDR image, tone mapped in Photomatrix, enhanced contrast and lighting again in DxO Optics Pro.

I know quite well this place and I must say that you obtained an excellent result here! Well done.
LightningPaul: Wow, many thanks! Nice to hear this from someone who knows the place well.
Un gran paisaje , parece una maqueta y las personas parecen los tipicos muñequitos. Me gusta.
LightningPaul: Tal vez construir el modelo de mí mismo smile Gracias por su visita. (I'm not responsible for the translation made by Google Translate, I hope you understand it)
Impressive Paul. Did they have the spectrum? I've still got the one we bought for the children and it still works!
LightningPaul: Thanks Bill. I don't know if they have it. In fact I don't know what the spectrum is.
Awesome prospective and impressive composition. Well done!
LightningPaul: Thanks Giorgio. I was looking impressive, I'm happy that I have been able to put that property on image.
