France Eiffel Tower & Pont Alexandre III from Pont de la Concorde
This is one of my favorite places to photograph the Eiffel Tower in Paris. When lights turn on, during the blue hour one can make beautiful long exposures of the Eiffel Tower and Pont Alexandre III in the foreground.
Photography Tips
Use a tripod. The best time to visit is during the blue hour in the evening. Get ND filters if you would like to take longer exposures and capture the lights of the passing boats. Medium-range lenses are better than wide-angle lenses since both landmarks are not so close.
Go under the bridge to let it frame your photo.
