The Louvre at Night, I spent nearly two hours there taking photos and could of come back again and again, its just a magical place for photography.
This was achieved using a HDR process to achieve the lovely tones.
At first I dismissed this shot, but on revisiting it I found it charming. A lot of my holiday photos were taken with planning and forethough, this shot however just presented itself I snapped it, and kept on enjoying the wonderful architecture. In showing some of my many photos to friends this was very popular so I decided to share it here.
The Louvre at night / 2007
this was a great installation at the Louvre last june. the artist Gloria Friedmann bases her work on the collage of diverse realities. I am fascinated by time.
the Louvre is always great early morning – not a soul but the pigeons and the erect statues of very dead artists and philosophers… By Michele Roohani
It’s Paris, It’s the Louvre, It’s the Glass Pyramid from the Da Vinci Code. It’s also a 10-20mm lens and above all… a pleasure and privilege to have been there again!

This girl was in the Louvre and seemed to be behind every corner. / My wife and I saw her everywhere. I turned and saw her in front of the Persian statues and quickly set my camera. After the shot, with model release in hand… I looked up to find that she had disappeared. I have never been able to find out her name.
“In 1983 i.m.pei was offered the ‘grand Louvre’ project by the / French government. / ‘one of my conditions prior to accepting the commission… / was to see if there was something I could do… / the Louvre was built in parts successively since the 12th century, / first as a donjon, then as a palace… / the problem was how to make (it) into a modern museum. / the Louvre had lots of exhibition space… / but was totally lacking in infrastructure… / after three secret ‘private’ visits…I said to myself, / ‘yes, I am going to try.’ Besides creating two large glass covered courtyards to house / sculptures, pei’s design also included the excavation of two / other courtyards in order to create storage and infrastructure / space. / pei’s pyramid design was very controversial and ‘maybe 90% / of the people of Paris were opposed to it at the beginning’, / although now almost everyone loves it. / in fact it is considered one of the landmarks of Paris, / together with the Eiffel tower. “The glass pyramid is a symbol that defines the entry to the / Louvre. it is placed precisely at the center of gravity of the / three pavilions…it assumes the function of a symbolic entry to a huge / complex of meandering interconnected buildings / which had no center.” But why a pyramid? why not a cylinder or a cone? / “Formally, it is the most compatible with the architecture of the Louvre… / it is also one of the most structurally stable of forms, / which assures its transparency… / as it is constructed of glass and steel, / it signifies a break with the architectural traditions of the past. / it is a work of our time.” (from the book “conversations with i.m. pei”) Camera Specs: Nikon D 50.

A figure walks away, for what we feel may be the final time, through one of the entrances to the Louvre Museum in Paris. The emotion and sensation of light is at the heart of artist Paul Jackson’s work and is what draws us to his watercolors. This painting was purchased by the China Watercolor Society for their permanent collection.

Louvre – Paris – France Featured in Unique Buildings Of The World / Top 10 in challenge In the Fog for group Historic Landmarks of Europe
This is a corridor of The Louvre, Paris. The Louvre is the largest museum in France and the most visited in the world. It is also the home of the Mona Lisa, arguably Da Vinci’s most famous and mysterious work. The Louvre was build in the 12th Century and initially qas a fortress for Philip II. 400 years later it became a display house of Louis XIV, and in 1793, was opened for it’s first exhibition. It was closed again until 1801 due to structural damage, when it reopened. Today the Louvre houses over 380,000 pieces of art, across 8 departments. I spent 4 hours in there and only got to see 1/8 of the entire building. Two textures added to this one and a slight adjustment of colour and contrast to make it look like an old photo of an aristocratic past. Slight crop also, to take out the tops of the many visitors heads that were in frame.
