Painting with light...
{an attempt at writing my name!}
The good news is that we figured out how to do it, the bad news is that we're not that great at making it look good yet lol. I can't wait to experiment further with it, perhaps we'll get photos as lovely as Laura's next time!
Thomas's Favourite Paris Photos
There were so many highlights that I cannot even think to list them all, Paris is such an amazing, vibrant city. It was impossible to not be inspired by the beautiful architecture and just the general ‘feel’ of the place. We both mentioned during the week how it was no wonder that some of the worlds most creative people came from and lived in Paris. It had this vibe that was almost electric, there was something in the air all the time (apart from the great smell of food) that was indescribable and I hope that both myself and Rhianne captured that in our photos.

I love taking photos (maybe not quite as much as Rhianne) but more than anything I love sharing them, looking through them and reliving all the wonderful memories and im sure we will be doing that for years to come and it has been a real privilege to share some of these photos with you. I can imagine Rhianne will share many more photos and stories of our trips to Paris (and our future travels as well I can expect).
Also, before I go, I would just like to say a big big thank you to all the amazing people that Rhianne has met on For the easily distracted. I have also been so lucky to meet Adele and Wendy who were both lovely people. It is so fantastic to hear Rhianne talk about you, she is always showing me your wonderful posts and photos on different blogs. I really hope that you enjoy reading it as much as she does writing it and taking hundreds and hundreds of photos for it.
Have a great weekend!

Along the River Seine...
The next evening we decided to take a boat journey along the River Seine to relax and take in Paris from a different point of view. What we didn't expect was one of the most beautiful sunsets either of us have ever seen.
Isn't it dramatic how much the sky changed over the space of an hour! I love the contrast between the first and last photo of the Eiffel Tower.
Unfortunately it wasn't really light enough for my cameras to capture the sunset for long but the digital camera was perfect and Thomas caught the light so well (these are unedited btw). I also got to sit and enjoy the ride for the hour which I can't really complain about can I?

p.s. Thomas actually managed to take over 200 photos in that hour, narrowing it down to these was pretty hard!
