Paris Carousel

Paris Carousel

I took this shot on a visit to Paris last week for my wife’s birthday. After trying various different shots of the Eiffel Tower I was quite disappointed with the results and we were heading back to the Metro. I passed a nearby carousel and spotted this shot. I had to use a high ISO (1000) as I was shooting handheld, but am really pleased with the result. I like shots that are a bit different and I think that this captures the fantasy and magic that Paris has to offer
