black and white shot from the district of La Defence in Paris, France. It shows a carrousel, which - with its decor - in my opinion is in a nice contrast to the surrounding skyscrapers which are very geometric and dominated by straight lines

Another black and white shot from the district of La Defence in Paris, France. It shows a carrousel, which - with its decor - in my opinion is in a nice contrast to the surrounding skyscrapers which are very geometric and dominated by straight lines.

Shot on Fuji Neopan 100 film with the Canon 24mm/f2.8 lens wide open as to decrease the depth of field. It’s my favorite film by now, and works well with the dark red filter I use to darken the blue sky.
