Around Valentine’s Day, I went to Paris together with my partner. On the first and second day, we unfortunately had some rain. During almost all the time (two and a half days) we walked around, visited some sights and I took the opportunity to take some pictures.

During the stay, I used my Fujifilm X-T1 together with the superb XF 14 f/2.8, the XF 35 f/1.4 and for some fun the 8 mm Samyang Fisheye.

Provided you have a tripod at hand, cities offer great opportunites for night shots.

The Hôtel du Louvre and its remarkable illumination (XF 14 f/2.8)

The illuminations of streets and buildings are great in Paris. This photo shows the Seine riverside with the Institut de France (XF 14 f/2.8)
