A week in Paris, cultural capital and architectural wonder. France has brought us photographers like Nicephore Niepce who arguably invented the medium and Eugene Atget, a pioneering street photographer….surely I’d find something inspiration to take pictures of?
Ah…no. A week outside Paris at my companies training centre near Chantilly.
It was still a beautiful location; you can see some of my pictures on my picasa site. There’s a chateau and parkland and stuff so it was a nice setting for a training course…but photographic opportunities were limited.
It was quite a challenging course that required a lot of soul searching and this got me thinking about how you’d capture ‘soul searching’ in a photo….I’m not sure if I quite got it right, but I had fun taking it and it took my mind of the course for 10 minutes!
Oh yeah, I mentioned paintballing in my last forum post…don’t bother taking your camera it’s too risky! Mine stayed in the case the whole time.
In geeky news, Olympus have announced a new camera, the E-30 which looks very interesting. They’ve also re-released the 14-54mm lens, which seems odd as the original version is fine. Personally I’ll be upgrading my lenses long before I get a new camera body.
I’ve got a few days holiday (my last before Christmas) at the end of this week so hopefully I’ll get out and about with the camera.
Icelandair just paid the worst photographer it could find $50,000
