- Île de la Cité
The quality of cell phone cameras has improved noticeably in recent years - so much so, that a cell phone photo made my '10 favorites' list this year. This late-evening photo of Paris's famed Île de la Cité (on the Seine River, viewed from the Pont des Arts) was taken with an iPhone 6. (July 9, 2015. Apple iPhone 6, 1/120s @ f/2.2, 4.15 mm, ISO 40.) - The Eiffel Tower
In July I had the good fortune to visit Europe. When in Paris, a photo of the Eiffel Tower is mandatory. However, I was able to get a somewhat novel view of the tower - from underneath. I like the symmetry here. (July 6, 2015. Nikon D5000, 1/200s @ f/6.3, 13 mm, ISO 200.) - 'The Lady and the Unicorn' - a famous tapestry (from around 1500) at the Cluny Museum
