Red Eiffel Tower (*)

Paris, France

This is an unique picture of the Eiffel Tower, all in red, as you probably never saw it.
Because of the visit of the Chinese president in Paris, the french president decided to illuminate the Eiffel Tower in red to wellcome the special guest(1st international visit I think of the chineese president).
When I knew this will happend (only 1day) I took my tripod 2nd battery and lot of time :p and went to try to make a great shot. And that is one of the best.
It was a very special evening that I'll remember for quiet a while.

Canon PowerShot S400
3s f/3.2 at 9.1mm tripod, framing full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Wow. I'd like to have been here to see this. I know just where you were when you took this picture. What a beautiful city Paris is and how well you've captured it here. When we were there the World Cup was going on and this view was obscured by a huge screen for viewing the games. No matter. It was beautiful anyhow. Ann C

Thanks for the comments. The "simple" camera is realy limiting me in the last couple of weeks, so I hope I'll join the 300D team soon :) But with tripod the S400 is still a fine camera for night shots and and excellent shapshot one.

Shows how well a "simple" camera can perform. This almost looks solarized.
