sure it would have as much EV as this view, but I never got around to processing it, so perhaps I'll take this as inspiration to actually work on the photo and upload it... But back to this image... I'm pretty sure Benh has used exposure fusion to create this, which from my experience creates the dull under-saturated sky that you see in this photo, along with the haloes around the buildings. At the very least, I think it could be reprocessed using true HDR tone mapping to get a more realistic looking sky. That's just the perfectionist in me though. :-)

Ha, that's interesting. I took some photos of it when I was last in Paris. I didn't get an architectural view of it like this though, as I just wandered through the park (which is not that big compared to the height of the tower) and took a photo looking up at it from a considerable angle, so I'm not

I don't think it's smoggy though. I've taken enough photos (and London is not so different!) to know that the sky tends to get lighter the smoggier it gets (more light reflecting off particles in the air). You don't get that dark grey-blue sky when it's cloudy or smoggy. I'm sure it's the image
209:
It could be the polariser but I haven't noticed that it desaturates the sky - only darkens it. Did you use exposure fusion though? If so, I think it's the cause because it's a similar effect to what I've seen many times before when using it. As for it affecting EV, I don't think so, but as you

it? I could go further but if it doesn't affect EV to reviewers over here, I'll leave it like that. As I said, it makes the golden tower stand out and I like it. My personal artistic touch. But if I think about it I should fix the halos. -
231:
Yes exposures blending, which actually yielded a sky much darker than this (but it's really mostly from the polarizer because the effect is dramatic when light comes from the side). Would you believe I had

Probably more the polarizer than the processing (the polarizer tends to desaturate the sky). But I like how it makes the golden tower stand out. If you folks think this affects EV, I can fix that. -

The muddy sky could just be Paris; romantic maybe, but occasionally a bit smoggy too; how I long to have him take my hand in his and whisper those three little words: Get ... me ... oxygen ....

is a 51-metre (167 ft) tower in the fourth
Arrondisement of Paris. The monument is all that remains of the former 16th-century Church of Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie.

Thanks for the nom. As discussed on
Commons, not quite the best setting for an optimal side lighting, but a pretty good one I believe. Next summer maybe. -
