This photo was shot in Paris at River Siene on Pont du Carrousel.Time
The photo was shot on a crisp november evening. After viewing the Galleries at Musee d'Orsay i had decided to take some shots of the Seine and some of its bridges. I was trying to take the shot from top of the road but the air was so chilling it was not possible to take a clean shot without a tripod. And there were so many tourists it was not possible to use a tripod on the road. Finally i had walked down 3 floors lugging the camera and tripod bag to the river bank and walked around for at least 30 minutes to find a spot from where i could get a good shot. All the freezing, tripping and cold wind blowing into my face was totally worth it !!!Lighting
I wanted a shot of the lights on the bridge and the reflections in the water.Equipment
This shot was on a Canon 60D.Inspiration
Bridges on the Seine in the heart of Paris was something i always wanted to shoot.Editing

Camera: Canon 60D , Lens: 24-70mm , 50mm for portraits.Feedback
Trying to get this with a clear sky made it more beautiful. I had gone back to the same spot 3-4 times and took multiple shots. But this shot with a clear sky was an excellent background for the lights.
