La Vagenende, Paris
La Vagenende across from L'Odeon is known for its fantastic glass and mirrored
interiors that you catch a glimpse of here. It had been raining on this chilly
winter evening, so no one was outside. But all the ashtrays were carefully laid
out, nevertheless, waiting patiently for some guests to show up!! The lights
were welcoming people to dinner, but mostly people were just getting out of
work as it around 5:30. It being February it was already dark and this shot was
taken without a tripod, by propping the camera up against a car. There was just
barely enough light to get detail in the shadows, but the Canon's histogram
helped a lot to determine a good exposure, and so did bracketing. How to do all
this between dozens of pedestrians streaming by? Ah, yes. That is the trick and
not always easy!!
