I'm clearly more a night owl than a morning person, but still, the light was beautiful this morning and here are my attempts to catch it.

A picture showing a quiet Paris street in the morning. The right side of the street is in the shadow, the left side is basked in golden light, the features of the buildings casting long shadows.

A picture of some colorful street art on a wall, with the letters SHAP in pink and a woman's head wearing a yellow scarf over her mouth on the left. The dark silhouette of a passerby is visible on the left of the image.

I understand better why I love that fully manual lens. It's pleasantly cold and metallic, the aperture ring is clicky, the focus ring is nice and smooth, and the lens cover is screw-in, which means I can play with it and screw and unscrew it when I'm not shooting. In other words, it's a real stim toy ^^

Oh yeah, and it takes nice pictures too.

Hope you enjoy them! Life is quite a bumpy road those days, but I'm trying to enjoy the ride. This helps.

A picture showing a bright yellow M (Metro) sign in the Paris night. The lightfrom the sign is visible and is slightly illuminating the metallic structure of the overhead railway tracks on the right. A more dimly lit metro stations, all metallic structure and glass panel, is visible in the background.

And yes, I really like colored lights ^^

A picture showing the top of the front of a bar with very colorful lights, a big white street lamp in the background, and a red traffic sign on the left.

Last month I've been dating again, and for some reason, I find that just before or after dates is a great time for taking photos of the city. Before, it helps me relax, focus, and be in the present. After, I'm still with the energy of the person I met and it makes for some nice pictures.

I didn't take so many pictures I like this month, though. I suppose it's as with anything, there are times when you are more inspired than others.

A very dark picture showing the wall of an old building, with a very bright lampost shining a yellowish light whereas a nearby window shows a room bathed in blow light.

A picture showing a very large sculpture of red lips in the foreground (part of Fontaine Stravinsky, in Paris), and in the background a very large mural depicting two characters reaching hands one towards another, above a book with the sentence "The future in unwritten". Next to it, another smaller mural depicts a cat, and another one shows the face of a person holding a finger in front of their mouth.

A picture of a quite strange piece of art above a basin full of water. with the public lighting casting beautiful reflections on the scene. In the background, a lit bar is full of people.

Those last ones were taken just a few days ago, during a beautiful walk with @spaceluciolle@twoot.site The light was amazing.

Some of the colors of the night in December.

I didn't take that many photos. As I mentioned in the past, I think photography has some therapeutic aspect to me, and I'm in a much better place mentally and emotionally than a few months ago, so I think it's part of why.

But I still love some of them, especially the first. I still want to get better at it, and at photo editing too. And there are still a few lenses I would love having the money to get.

In the meanwhile, enjoy!

Random photodump from the beginning of the year. There is none I'm really super proud of, but enough that I like enough to post. Still mostly, you know, the night.

I love my little Panasonic Micro 4/3 hybrid but I'm more and more considering moving to full format, when I have the money. A bigger sensor has all sorts of advantages, and some of the model I'm seeing as not as bulky as they used to.

A picture of Paris by night showing a canal framed by lamposts and street lights. There is a somewhat eerie glow in the background.

Some more pictures from January and February. Enjoy!

A picture of a large street of Paris at dusk. The yellow headlights of cars and a bus reflect on the wet pavement in the foreground. In the back, a church tower is visible over a pink and blue sky.
