Low Light Photography can be challenging but, as shown in this late evening shooting session, you can still get pretty good results if you know how to handle your gear properly. Even though you haven’t thought of bringing you tripod with you. This is exactly what happend to me one night in Paris as I had just come back from the Nikon store with a new lens which I wanted to try on the spot. As it’s a beautiful 24-70 […]
The girl on the train would have liked that stint of trainspotting in Paris. There is a hillside west of the city where you can behold radishes that grow or gardeners who sigh contentedly under the low winter sun. As it happens, there weren’t any on that day; it was a little bit too early. I took this series of shots in late February 2025. I jumped on my Brompton at the crack of dawn on a very bright and […]
This image reveals the blind truth about the business world. A simple yet tale-telling picture which is worth a thousand words. The façade of the business world resembles the endless rows of glass panels I captured on that clear, bright evening. At first glance, structured, sleek, impressively ordered—an unbroken sequence of repeated patterns. Yet, looking deeper, I find hidden imperfections, interruptions, and subtle misalignments. Just as each glass panel subtly distorts reality, businesses often distort their own narratives, revealing only […]
Here’s a brand new photo slideshow which I put together recently about the Ghost Mall in Montparnasse. Based on ideas stolen from my photo club I started working on photo slideshows to showcase my art. I find it’s a great way to tell a story with pictures rather than just displaying pictures one after the other. The ghost mall in Montparnasse lends itself to such storytelling.

On the Antimuseum photo blog, we are mostly geared towards stories about photography, but from time to time, it’s good to be able to get into some serious technical stuff, such as digital photography techniques, for instance. Some of the things we will go over in this article are focal length, depth of field, speed and aperture, and photography in low light settings. All of these are pertinent to achieving the perfect photos in all aspects of photography. Digital Photography […]
Today’s topic is focus, thus let’s focus on focus, will you? Depth of field and bokeh are my favourite subjects. When I saw David’s challenge some time ago I went back to my archive, and found this Nov 2012 album, all shot with a 50mm f:1.4 lens all around my place in Paris, mostly around the Luxembourg gardens. First, a very sharp shot of the Explorers’ fountain in Port Royal. So much water the scene is blurred by millions of […]
Here are a few musings about heritage, wars and buildings as we are entering the new year. Our approach to heritage is rather surprising. Everyone talks about preserving it, as if it were frozen forever, yet the 20th century saw us Europeans systematically destroying our own with remarkable efficiency. Take Amiens – its magnificent cathedral stands like a miracle among the scars of two world wars, while a mere 500 miles away in Brest, no judgement on my part, Allied […]
The Art Nouveau movement influenced design and architecture all throughout Europe. From metro stations to churches, to pop culture, the impact of Art Nouveau in Montmartre is ever present. Art Nouveau in Montmartre Saint Jean de Montmartre Art Nouveau is ubiquitous in Paris. Opposite the Abbesses metro station in Montmartre, there is this church. It is an austere yet beautifully crafted and picturesque church named Saint Jean de Montmartre. It was made of cement – not concrete – a special […]

Morocco is considered the largest fish market in Africa, with the fish production estimated around 1.37 million metric tonnes Zillions of gulls then raid the […]
This Goosehead high cuisine headline could be a joke but it’s not. Têtedoie, aka Goosehead in English, has nothing to do with a wild goose chase. It’s merely the name of a chef in Lyon. And I assure you we weren’t served goose head either. Our lunch was very good indeed. The restaurant is very trendy, on the heights of Fourvière, the hill above the old City of Lyon. Christian Têtedoie has opted for a very 70s vintage decor. Here […]
