Emile Gregoire Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · #224: Rue de Grenelle, Rain New entry - see below for apologies. Taken last friday night from the door to my appartment in the heart of Paris. Though I must admit - this is a street... Is there a difference between streets and roads? Anyway, I present to you: Rue de Grenelle, Rain: And now for the apologies: I submitted 'Wasted' which received terrific comments. Alas, hadn't read the rules all too well. It was a picture shot in May in the beautiful southwest of the US. Thought the rule was to submit new material, new as in 'unpublished'. Luckily, somebody reminded me of my error. I'm afraid I had to throw away a nice submission but at least I learned a bit of b&w processing along the way. Again: sincerest apologies. Edited on Oct 12, 2006 at 12:04 AM Oct 09, 2006 at 10:21 AM

ironabike Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #2 · #224: Rue de Grenelle, Rain I love Paris!!! And this is another beautiful conversion. Congrats--thanks for pulling your entry. So many times a great photo that doesn't qualify remains in only to be disqualified later. I, for one, appreciate your candor. Jane Edited on Oct 12, 2006 at 12:04 AM Oct 09, 2006 at 06:24 PM

Emile Gregoire Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #3 · #224: Rue de Grenelle, Rain Thanks Jane. Felt pretty bad about it - all those nice FMers commenting on it and having to pull the rug. Next time I'll make sure to read the rules better! And you're right: Paris is absolutely fabulous. Beautiful architecture, truckloads of culture and history, a certain romantic atmosphere. On the other hand: it is a BIG city which can be pretty tough to live in. Not all that romantic all the time! Edited on Oct 12, 2006 at 12:04 AM Oct 09, 2006 at 08:12 PM

MarjB Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #4 · #224: Rue de Grenelle, Rain This is SO striking; really a marvelous capture. I really like the tones and textures and in fact everything; just such a great everything overall -- I can even feel the rain. Best of luck! Marjorie.

rcarboni Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #5 · #224: Rue de Grenelle, Rain I like the mood on this shot, and the lighting streaming from the end of the street. Nicely done. Edited on Oct 12, 2006 at 12:04 AM Oct 10, 2006 at 01:26 AM

Photon Online Buy and Sell: On p.1 #7 · #224: Rue de Grenelle, Rain I enjoyed "wasted", but I like this better in almost every way. I even like the slight tilt, which is something that usually bothers me and seems either accidental or falsely "artsy". Here, it seems just right. I'm glad the other entry didn't qualify so that we got to see this one. Best of luck! Edited on Oct 12, 2006 at 12:04 AM Oct 10, 2006 at 03:59 AM

philipperoy Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #8 · #224: Rue de Grenelle, Rain Very stylish. I'm brought back to my old photography books with the classic black and white photography of Paris. Superbe! J'adore! Edited on Oct 12, 2006 at 12:04 AM Oct 10, 2006 at 05:45 AM

Emile Gregoire Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #9 · #224: Rue de Grenelle, Rain Had planned on doing something like this for a long time and friday night it was raining heavily. Alas, when I got down, raced up because the battery was still in the charger, and got down again, the heavy rain had already gone. Still, the street had retained the right atmosphere and I only had to wait 10 minutes before those two people strolled by. I'm really glad you like it. So did I. If it evokes memories of old photography books than that makes me happy as that is exactly what I wanted it to be like. As for the slight slant, Jess... It was there by accident. In fact I'm thinking about returning the 5D to the service center because most of the pictures are slanted just a bit to the right while all my 30D shots are perfectly straight. Still, looking at photos from giants like Cartier-Bresson I decided that striving for perfection isn't necessary to make nice shots. So I decided to leave everything pretty much as is, and just to convert to b&w. So, thanks everybody! You're making me blush (again). Edited on Oct 12, 2006 at 12:04 AM Oct 10, 2006 at 07:23 AM

relms Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #11 · #224: Rue de Grenelle, Rain Emile, I am a big fan of black and white photographs, and this one is excellent. I like it even better than your first post. You have captured, not only an interesting scene, but have also conveyed the mood - a combination for which we should all strive. I hope that you will continue to participate in the WA.

cennerfelt Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #12 · #224: Rue de Grenelle, Rain Emile, No waste commenting on this one also. Great photo. Good luck Christian Edited on Oct 12, 2006 at 12:04 AM Oct 11, 2006 at 02:08 AM

gvarma Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #13 · #224: Rue de Grenelle, Rain I must agree. This shot is better. Love the mood in the photo. Well captured and presented. Glad you were able to take it Edited on Oct 12, 2006 at 12:04 AM Oct 11, 2006 at 07:53 AM

Rob_O Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #14 · #224: Rue de Grenelle, Rain Really wonderful street scene Emile ... absolutely love the B&W treatment and corresponding mood created by it. Paris is a favorite city to visit, so this shot also brings up good memories for me. Also agree with comments about this having an old(er) film-like quality to it. Great capture ... great entry.
