while in paris, we stayed at a little apartment that belongs to my friend, flora -- she was out of town, so she sweetly offered to let us stay. the apartment was just below montmartre, towards le moulin rouge... a wonderful area with all kinds of little daily shops -- flowers, bakeries, greengrocers, etc. -- and not very touristy.
the first morning there, we decided to get up very early and climb up towards sacré-cœur, to get an overview of the city at first light. i thought i'd wait till the sun lay its golden rays on the church for a nice HDR. after taking the usual symmetrical shots one sees anywhere, i felt that the dark, textured cobblestone was important to the feel of the place, and tried to get a shot to include both church and street.
mr.G's feedback was crucial to this shot, and he expects to receive 20% of its value. i disagreed, but only because i secretly think he should get much more.
