_{Ruben Cress | Paris, what a view eh?}

_{S u m m a r y}

_{Paris, one of my favorite cities in Europe, yet I've posted so little about it. I've shared maybe a handful of photographs of Paris on Hive. Which is ridiculous. But, the truth is, when it comes down to sharing photographs of the Eiffel tower at night, you can get in some big trouble. Probably the reason why I haven't published (or maybe I have, can't even remember) a photograph with the lights on. How is it even possible that one person can claim the time and space of such a huge landmark that's visible wherever you go in Paris? In my opinion, it will let you be in a top-tier club for selfish people doing so.}

_{Because of this, I must have stopped the hassle of further editing my photographs for publishing and just shared a handful instead. Just to play it safe: here is a photograph that I took from standing at the Sacré-Coeur. A beautiful sight it is. But, when I opened this photograph, it was -full- of spots of lens dirt. An insane amount of lens dirt I tell you. It will demotivate any photographer to retouch and prevent them from cleaning this image. Either way, the result is something that makes it all worth it. Below you'll find some 100% close-up crops from the above photograph.}

Love this?

Photography has been a part of my life for over a decade. Editing photographs, scouting locations, trying out techniques never go without failure. This specific photograph received additional care due to the insane amount of lens dirt I had to remove.

Cheers,
