:blahblah: [Ramblings]

Just like many famous places, the Louvre is just another place where you can't use a tripod if you don't have a written permission (I wonder WHERE these permissions are given and what is the cost for them...).
Well, since I promised not to visit the famous museum to my girlfriend (and it wasn't really something to struggle about, since I'm not so crazy about huge museums in limited amount of time) I had my chance to take some "common" photos of it from the outside while Luigi was visiting it.

Location: Musée du Louvre, Paris

No tripod, uh?!? Are you provoking me?? First thing I did was finding an "higher-than-ground" spot to lay my camera for a good old photo of the pyramid. There were plenty in front of it, so I went for one of them. I used iso 200 since I had my support, but I was also using my hand to rise the lens so the situation was a bit critical and I had to choose a shutter speed not too slow (4 secs... actually that's pretty slow when you're worried about shaking the camera!). I don't know why and who they were, but they were a nice couple of tourists, so why not framing them?!? I took a couple of shots before they left, but this first one was the only one acceptable as the oriental guy on the right stood there for the rest of the time to let his girlfriend take photos of him with the Louvre on the background (matter of tastes...).

I remember being taught "rule of thirds, rule of thirds, blah, blah, blah" but this...this defies the rule of thirds; symmetry, subject, shape, ect.

5/5, if i could critique it
