On my second trip to Paris in October I was made aware of the Tour Montparnasse: a giant of a building on top of which you can go outside and view a wonderful 360 degree panoramic of Paris. The Tour Montparnasse also happens to be home of Europe’s fastest elevator – rocketing you up from the ground to the 56^th floor in 38 seconds!

You may notice a rather large structure in today’s photo; it is of course the Eiffel Tower, and just like the last time I was in Paris, I wasn’t able to go up to the top of it since it was once again closed for maintenance! I’m beginning to believe that I’ll never make it inside.

This trip was the first where I used my Nikon 50mm Nifty Fifty lens, the fact that it’s a prime lens and so doesn’t zoom took quite a bit of getting used to; I was constantly stepping back to try and get everything in my shots!

If you’re interested in knowing how I made this, and all my other photos, you can check out Part 1 of my HDR tutorial; Part 2 should be online sometime tomorrow
