If you'atomic number 75 a photographer looking a big view of Paris, you can't vanquis Montparnasse Tower. Not only does it founde you 360 academic degree views of the city from an unusually high post for the centre of Paris (the only other big loom being Eiffel's), it also considerately leaves a list of strips in the shabu Windows open for you to poke your Lens through. Amazing. Why can't all urban center towers be like this? (Postscript – thanks to Elia Locardi for reminding me of this location prior to my set off).

I took this with the Sony A6000 and its 16-50mm kit soar up, and like most of my photos, it's a JPEG straight out-of-photographic camera. It's a six second exposure at f8 and 100 ISO with the lens set to 22mm for a 33mm equivalent field of view.

Eastern Samoa it happened, my slenderly compact Gitzo travel tripod didn't quite arrive at the strip with the legs positioned wide for stability, but by angling them in, my television camera just about made it to the boundary, like an infant on its tap toes. The camera doubtful for this pic was the Sony Alpha A6000 which I proven for fortnight in Brighton earlier taking it on the road done Europe for a further two weeks. Yep, same month of solid examination to make over another epic go over for you – one of my the most detailed to day of the month, fetching an extra-specially close look at the wonderful continuous AF performance for stills and movies. Let me tell you, the A6000 is a game-changer in that honour, beating similarly-priced mirrorless and DSLR cameras alike.

Anyway, it's all in my Sony A6000 review, including this and many more images at their full resolution for you to download and examine. Let ME know what you think!
