I had to go to Paris for a conference in December and wanted to only use carry-on, so didn't have room for my camera, but in the end I could not go without one, so threw in my home-made pinhole camera. I got up early one day and as the snow fell I wandered about for a bit, taking in total three shots. The one below is my favorite, the bum on the bench is me counting of the seconds on my watch (60s on asa 100 Shanghai). The sign says Carousel de Paris.
Wow, that's really cool!
Nice. it's still march though.
Not here it ain't.
Here is a second. I thought about cropping it, but then figured the whole image might be part of the pinhole esthetic. Anyway, beyond the general unsharpness, the top of the tower is particularly unsharp because of low clouds and falling snow not visible in such a long exposure.
Cool stuff!
