Eiffel Tower Motion Blur – Paris, France

We exited the metro and walked to the Seine River to capture this scene. It was just after sunset, but with ample soft and colorful light, we were here at our final destination of the day. Can you guess where we were headed?

Riffing off yesterday’s double metro motion blur post, I feature the motion blur of a passing boat. Since the boat was moving slower than the metro and I was further away, I used a slower shutter speed, 1/4 second, instead of yesterday’s 1/15s second, to create an effective blur.

There are some snazzy, futuristic boats docked nearby. I wonder if any of these were used for the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
