We decided to take the stairs. Stair A – to be accurate – just because of the form of the ‘A’ – it is quite similar to the Eiffel Tower.

Today is a very special day – I am going to write about the making of one of my special favourites, which no one loves – but me.
As I mentioned in one of my latest articles it is most important to develop and keep your own style in photography (and everywhere else as well – by the way!) – so (for me as a keen photo enthusiast) it is not important if everyone likes my images – but it is most important, if I like them, and what I am feeling looking at them. I would like to show you the “making of” of one of those “rather difficult” images – it is one of my favourites.
Some photographic thoughts about contrasts, highlights and shadows.
Many modern contemporary fine art street photographs and cityscape photographs are characterized by strong contrasts between the deepest shadows and the brightest highlights – which makes them very attractive in common. Pure black shadows and pure white highlights predominate – in between there is only a small range of greytones; contrasts are high.
