I grew up in Paris, but only went to see the tower once. That’s usually what happens to the locals: they don’t do the touristy things.
A few years ago, I went with a friend of mine on a foggy Sunday morning and took some photos. The structure is amazing and makes great monochrome shots.
I used the Canon 350D + Sigma 10-20mm and a grad for this shot.
The processing was very straightforward and the exposure was already what I wanted without any heavy processing.
