A few weeks ago after having spent about an hour waiting for the right light at the Sacre Coeur I walked back down to my scooter (in fact if you look really well you can see it on this photo) and I was impressed by these stairs doing down.
So I set up the tripod, disturbed all the people trying to walk down (which gave me a clear space to shoot) and got this photo. It is HDR and a combination of three pictures.
What worked out best was the reduce the colors as much as possible, since the dark night didn’t give much color in the first place.
Stairs are always a great subject for photography, I am not sure why. Maybe it’s because it gives a rythm and visual rythm is a great scene for photography.
Well if you are going to Paris you can take the “elevator” up the hill to Sacre Coeur, I suggest you take the stairs – it’s much nicer.

A bit about me as a Photographer
When I was 7 or maybe 8 I got an old camera and a stock of old films. I spent my whole vacation shooting photos. Unfortunately I never got the film developed as I didn't have any money. But that's when it all began. Then In 2008 I discovered HDR through an old friend (Serge Ramelli) that's when I decided I wanted to start shooting HDR photos of Paris (and other areas) and I started this site in 2009 when I had my first real HDR with my own camera. Follow my photo journey through these images.

I love this shot I have to walked these stairs a few times and never thought of making an image – Brilliant image friend
Magistral trabalho!
Quando fui a Paris, subi essa ‘escadaria’, que se não me engano, chama-se “Maurice Utrillo”.
Mais uma vez, PARABÉNS por tão lindas imagens!
