Its streets are truly magic everywhere. What I look for ultimately in every big city, however, is a panoramic view somewhere high, a hill or a tower. The Eiffel Tower never appeared appealing to me in these terms, since the top landmark of the city isn’t visible from there. Tour Montparnasse turned out to be perfect for this purpose, so on my second visit in the city it was a must-go-to spot. The views were breathtaking and the coolest “off-duty” activity there was finding landmarks and analyzing the routes we had been wandering on the previous days. Shooting itself was challenging due to quite strong wind. I needed to take around 8 perfectly sharp shots at dusk and I was shooting vertically from a tripod with a 70-200 tele-lens, with a 10s exposure. I used a high focal length in order to capture a maximum amount of details so that after stacking the images I would receive a crispy sharp and perfectly detailed panorama in super high resolution. Combining 100-150mm focal length with such an exposure was extremely difficult, because literally every little vibration would ruin a shot, even on a tripod, and the wind blows caused plenty of them. It took me tens of attempts to finally get those few vertical images covering every area of the city I was seeking, but I ultimately made it. The result: shining yellow streets and landmarks contrasting with beautiful Parisian townhouses touched by subtle blue cast. As a reward I could join my fiancee for a glass of champagne at the bar one floor down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocation: \u003cem\u003eParis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wojtek Zagorski Photography","offers":[{"title":"90cm \/ Diamond","offer_id":43185848909914,"sku":null,"price":1999.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"120cm \/ Diamond","offer_id":43185848975450,"sku":null,"price":2499.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"150cm \/ Diamond","offer_id":43185849040986,"sku":null,"price":3299.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/9739\/0938\/files\/0S9A0393-Pano-Enhanced-NR.jpg?v=1775495971"},{"product_id":"the-towers-of-gotham","title":"The Towers of Gotham","description":"\u003c!--Start tab labels--\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab1\" class=\"active\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginal photograph made in New York\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTaken from the top of Williamsburg Bridge\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMuseum grade archival \u003c\/strong\u003eprint\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 🏛️\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eAvailable in \u003cstrong\u003eDiamond\u003c\/strong\u003e only \u003cstrong\u003e💎\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eNumbered \u003cstrong\u003elimited edition\u003c\/strong\u003e ⏳\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eInternational shipping (US, EU, UK) available \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e✈️\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eThe Story\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eUnlike most of my photographs, the most valuable element of this panorama is the story behind its creation. I went from Poland to Cambridge, MA for the CopyrightX Summit at Harvard Law School and revisited New York for a few days on that occasion. One day, I was wandering with my gear on the Williamsburg Bridge and spotted a construction site with a ladder behind a fence in restricted area, leading to the higher parts of the bridge. As I had walked through the bridge numerous times when I still lived in New York, I was well aware that police \"golf cars\" were patrolling the bridge on a regular basis, and that any activities, such as trespassing or climbing structures are illegal and may result in severe consequences, including arrest, confiscation of photography gear and deportation (as I'm not a citizen or a resident). Not to mention that climbing was hazardous, because it was very easy to slip and fall on the road below. I didn't think much, however, climbed on the fence and went up the ladder. I was seeking an adrenaline rush and a unique spot to capture the panorama.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhen I made it to the top around the time of sunset, I realized the air and the sky looked different, less clear, or even slightly foggy. The next day I learned it was due to the smog coming from burning forests in... Canada. This made it all look a little misty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe creation process was terribly difficult. At some point I lost hope that I could get what I needed. And what I needed were at least three sharp and clean horizontal shots, which I could later stack into one panorama. Accomplishing such a task when shooting with a tele-lens, even on a tripod, using quite a long exposure, seemed barely possible, considering the place (a kind of a very uncomfortable nest at a constructions site near the top of the bridge) and the conditions (the bridge shaking from the uninterrupted train and car traffic below, strong wind). Using a remote, I took a long series of shots covering each part of the skyline and after about an hour which I spent there, I still wasn't sure if the material was good enough, but it was time to go anyway, because every other minute increased the risk of serious problems. Back in my studio it appeared that out of around 100 shots I took there, I was able to retrieve literally three sharp ones. Anyway, the whole effort was worth it and the adventure itself became a fantastic memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocation: \u003cem\u003eWilliamsburg Bridge, New York\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wojtek Zagorski Photography","offers":[{"title":"90cm \/ Diamond","offer_id":43186199822426,"sku":null,"price":1699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"120cm \/ Diamond","offer_id":43186199855194,"sku":null,"price":2199.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"150cm \/ Diamond","offer_id":43186199887962,"sku":null,"price":2999.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/9739\/0938\/files\/Manhattan_Pano_s.jpg?v=1775503377"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.wojtekzagorski.com\/collections\/panoramas\/architecture.oembed","provider":"Zagorski Photography Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
