Portrait of a Parisian Tourist


Next stop - France. We took the leisurely route of catching a ferry from Dover, England to Calais, France then catching a train to Lille then transferring to a TGV for an hour long rise into Paris. I think I've done most of the things I wanted to see and do: seen the Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum, scaled the Eiffel tower, went up to see the gargoyles at Notre Dame, walked around a Parisian Sunday markets. The above is a self portrait of me with the world famous Eiffel Tower in the background. Many tourists were taking the same view I was taking. The difference is that this "Portrait of a Parisian Tourist" is using a D-SLR, most tourists used a compact camera and I also used a portable studio configuration to get a different lighting effect. Since I only had one tripod which I used for the flash strobe, I had Peter (from the London portrait) taking the photo for my portrait.
