2004-09-27: Montparnasse at dusk

Paris (6e), France

Snapped quickly on my way home from the office. The low shutter speed and a shaky hand led to some blurring. I was aiming to capture the point at which the neon begins to dominate the fading daylight. I cropped the original to get a 3:2 aspect ratio, to better emphasize the height of the lamppost and to frame the bottom with the pedestrian on the far left and the walk sign on the far right.
I think it looks better as a posterized version: http://www.pbase.com/brianogilvie/image/34372508.
