Flying the Flag in Paris

Image
On Thursday evening while walking around Paris I noticed that the giant Tricolor was flying under the Arc de Triomphe.  The flag is only flown on special occassions and I decided I better get some shots of it before the authorities took it down again.  I took some images on Thursday evening and then returned the next morning as the FIA WEC offices are only a short walk from the Arc de Triomphe.  I was blessed with bright winter sunshine which enabled me to get some really nice images in the perfect light on the X100 with its fixed 23mm f2 lens, while the evening shots were taken on the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and 35mm f1.4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BLOG BY CLICKING THE GOOGLE ADVERTS It doesn't cost you anything to click on an advert but we get a small fee for every click thru from Google and this helps support this b...
