Paris All Night Shoot 2009

Welcome to the second edition of the Paris All Night Shoot. Like before this event is for my fellow photographers to come out and take photos at night in Paris, France. This year’s meet will be on the 30th of May and we will have a different itinerary from last year. This time, we will capture sunset at La Defense and start the walk from Eiffel tower. From there we should be able to capture the popular parts of Paris brightly lit.

Participants from London are booking Eurostar train which departs from St Pancras at 16h25 and arrive in Paris at 19h47. If you want to join, please book the same train and stick with the group.

I will post full itinerary and details here one month before the date, please keep an eye on this page. Please note, only, registered users will be able to see and download the details.

To thank our French friends who will guide us, I would like to ask you to send in your £5 donation. This will be used to pay for their dinner.

To RSVP, please go to the event’s UPCOMING page.

I organised a photography meetup to Brussels (August 16-17). This is an All Night photography walk in the city with photographers from London. Unfortunately it is during my trip to Dover. So I took the train from Dover to London and meet up with the other photographers at the station. In all, there were 21 of us and I believe we all had fun except when we were waiting for our food at the Tapas Bar for more than an hour and when we cannot find Adrian. The second food stop made up for the first one and Adrian eventually found his way to us.

Flower Carpet on the Grand Place… the place was packed full!

Waiting for our food….

The Tapas Bar in the city took more than an hour to serve us our food. It is dark, loud and we are hungry. To occupy ourselves, of course we took photos with and without flash. You can’t really tell 20 people with huge cameras who are hungry and must feed to sustain an all night walk. It was a lot more civilised when the food arrived. If you are in a hurry, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Next we went to take photos of the Atomium. It is 28 minutes tram from the centre of town but it was worth it. It is here we accidentally left Adrian.

This is a very flashy building standing beside the Sheraton. Photo was taken handheld.

Mystical: very nicely decorated restaurant and we were the only ones this night! I highly recommend it, just do not order pasta coz they are a bit too salty.

We stopped by the little peeing boy and even posed for a group photo!

Thanks to all who participated and also for the yummy chocolates

May 17, 2008

The London Flickr meetup group went to Paris for an all night shoot with the Paris Flick Meetup group. This is a joint effort between myself (organising) and the Paris Flickr Meetup group team (recommendations and guiding). The itinerary worked rather well aside for some minor changes which included the inclusion of the Arc de Triomphe and Trocadero. Riversides always look long and far on the map when in reality they are near.

I enjoyed it a lot and the chance to photograph beautiful towns out of the country is extraordinary! It shows how dedicated the group is to our passion (photography). Thank you all for coming and I hope to see you in future meetups.

Check out the photos I took!
