Paris is considered one of the most visited places on the planet. And of course, if you have already arrived in Paris, then you should definitely take a picture against the backdrop of one of the main attractions - the Eiffel Tower!
Instructions
Step 1
It would seem that taking a picture against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower, what could be easier? In reality, there is one problem: the tower is big and the people are small. Finding a point where you can take a really beautiful and harmonious picture is not easy. But there are such points, it is there that the best photographs are usually taken.
Step 2
One of the best vantage points for shooting the tower itself and any person in its background is near the Chaillot Palace, which is located on the opposite bank of the Seine from the tower. This place is also called the Trocadero Gardens. It is from here that the construction is removed for most postcards.
Step 3
Another good point for shooting is from the depths of the park around the tower. When you cross the Seine and pass the tower itself, you will see extensive lawns, which are covered with excellent green grass in summer. Walk a little more until the distance to the tower is long enough to take a good photo. This location is best taken early in the morning, before the lawns are filled with young people on vacation who like to picnic on them.
Step 4
If you choose the point at which you want to take a photo yourself, then follow these simple rules. First, you need to move far enough so that the tower fits into the frame, and the camera does not need to be tilted for this. Second, don't forget about composition. The person in the photo is a vertical object. The Eiffel Tower also rushes vertically upward. You need to compose the shot so that the two resulting verticals do not "clash". You can take a few test shots for this.
Step 5
Make sure that the camera has a large depth of field. For those who take photographs with a "soap dish", there is nothing to worry about, the depth of field there is large by default in the "Auto" mode. But those who independently choose the shooting modes should set it by choosing the highest value suitable for the available outdoor illumination and the set shutter speed on the camera. Since the distance between the two main objects of shooting - the tower and the person - will be quite large, then with a shallow depth of field it may turn out that you turned out clearly in the picture, but some kind of muddy fog remained from the tower. This can be used as an artistic technique, but in this case it should be done on purpose.
