In February I took two Seine dinner cruises as research for an article I was writing for another publication. (Click here to read the article}.
On the sleek Bateaux Parisiens, I was given a prime table at the bow of the boat with floor to ceiling windows. Even though it seemed like an ideal vantage point to take photos, there were disadvantages including the glare from the windows, the boat moving so quickly, and it being night time. On the second cruise on the boat Le Calife , I invited Meredith Mullins to come with me. Meredith has over 40 years of experience taking photos and even with her special lenses and technical expertise, could not get the quality of shots she liked and eventually put her equipment away to enjoy the views.
However, I did manage to eke out about dozen photos that are presentable. Although, they are blurry, I think they capture a certain mood and romanticism. Luckily, I got some shots of Notre Dame all lit up from different angles.
What do you think of the photos? I would appreciate your feedback.
