Photographer: Mojca Vilfan from Ljubljana, Slovenia
Getting the Shot: The shot was taken from Eiffel Tower in Paris, looking down from the
first floor 'through' the tower itself on the people passing by. I
should add that the photo is actually turned upside-down.
The Details: I was just descending from the tower and stopped on the first floor to take some pictures. Looking at the ground I noticed the long shadows, although I could hardly see the people, they were just small dots. When taking pictures, I often try to see the 'obvious motive' from a different perspective. I try not to just walk around but rather stop and try to grasp the detail and the whole. I look around me, look straight up...and in this case, I looked straight down! Taken with a Nikon F70, 28-70mm, Kodak Elite chrome 200, scanned.
We love this shot of the Eiffel Tower because it makes you do a double-take and wonder for a moment where you are. If you think your photos are worthy of Global Eye, add them to our Flickr pool.
Just. Awesome.
