I am always inspired to take photos after seeing great photo exhibitions. After viewing the Thomas Demand exhibition at the Jeu de Paume last week, I exited to the Tuileries, raring to go. The elevated part of the Tuileries just behind the museum, is one of my favorite spots in the gardens, overlooking the gardens, with great views of the Place de la Concorde and the Eiffel Tower.
It was a pleasant, sunny day and most of the chairs and benches were occupied by people wanting to catch some rays, enjoy their take-out food, read, or just relax. I decided to capture them from behind, which would be more interesting composition wise. A few years ago, I posted a similar series of bench photos in the Palais Royal, which received a lot of positive response. (CLICK HERE to view).
A few minutes later, I captured the leave formations and still bare branches on the trees and the architectural shadows they produced.
