ADC = After Dinner Creativity
After a spicy pizza and some red wine we walked around in the office district at la Défense (Paris). My son was asking me some questions about the correlation of aperture and shutter speed and I tried to explain him the basics. Well, that's to complicate for me ... was his answer and was shaking his camera around and the result was very interesting.
I got the permission to shoot the same light source and this is my ADC result. Maybe it was the wine ... maybe just the inspiration .... but painting with light is cool.
Making of:

I photographed this speedwalk scene last spring in Paris. I guess it was Châtelet les Halles. However, it's time to visit Paris again ... and again. So, the next few days I'm in Paris ...
I love Paris in the springtime
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles
...... it's the song from Peter Cincotti "I love Paris"
Take care.
