While was visiting Paris, France in 2004, Porte St Martin was just nearby the hotel that I was staying at. I captured this image using the soft lighting in the early morning. The image is almost monochromatic but the texture of the Porte was sufficient to enhance the image visually. A small aperture (f/22) was utilized here to achieve the maximum depth of field for the image.
My family was having a short break in Paris in July 2004. The free-and-easy trip of ours allowed us to explore Paris at our own pace. I was greeted with beautiful sunlight the first thing in the morning. I captured this image of a gentleman at the corner of a street near the hotel that we were staying at. He seems to be engrossed with the latest news in the morning paper. I love the colourful subject that has blended well with the monochromatic setting of the environment.
