Photography Tips
Beautiful concept water fountain with a place to sit alongside for a cool shade of modern architecture around and full of energy around... I love La Defense & it's always worth a visit.
You need a wide-angle lens to shot this beautiful scene and fountain. Early in the morning is recommended due to the many people at this place.
To get a beautiful reflection, a long exposure can do the trick with a wide-angle lens like a 14/24mm.
