The stairs of the Opera Garnier
May 7th, 2006
These stairs are a monument in the monument, an other scene in the theater. Built for some happy few to climb the steps to celebrity. Nowadays, the same is happening at Cannes, every year, when stars climb the red carpet of the movie festival, in front of the crowd.
From a photographic point of view, this picture was made with a few photos. It was imposible to shoot these stairs without anybody on. So a dozen of photo were taken with a tripod and every uncrowdy place was stitched on the original, just like a puzzle.

Nice shot! When I was in Paris I did not get to visit the l’Opera Garnier and my hotel was so close.

Salut !
C’est drôle j’ai mis en ligne il y a peu quelques photos de l’Opéra justement… mais là je suis battue ! Je devrais vraiment investir dans un pied, car c’est avant tout une question de lumière. Et de regard, bien sûr, tu as trouvé un très bon angle.
Merci pour la photo !!

Excellent work. You’re a master of your craft.

too bad this wasn’t a picture like in the good old days, black and white. Even if there would have been people on the picture the shutter time would have been long enough to give them a surtain blur. But it is a great angle to shoot the staircase.
