Cliché Eiffel (c.2004)

Newer Older

About as touristy a shot as you'll find, this was taken Summer 2004 ... maybe two months or so after I started getting more into photography and the purchase of my first dSLR (Digital Rebel/300D). I knew only the basics and could really have done with more technical skill here (clipped highlights, a tad soft, etc). Plus I shot only jpeg at the time, further limiting post processing "saves" accessible through RAW conversion to compensate.

I was going through some older photos and thought this one worthy of throwing into the photostream. Processed using ACR and PS CS3; full moon removed for better balance.

    @Mace2000 ... funny to look back at "the beginning" and realize how little I really knew. And yet, still so much to learn. :)

    Thanks all for the comments.
