Rue Vieille du Temple

Rue Vieille du Temple (玛莱区)

A night scene from Rue Vieille du Temple in the Marais neighborhood in Paris on December 28, 2010.

I shot this with Canon's 50mm 1.4 at 2.8. The 50mm is pretty sharp when it's stepped down a bit. The exposure is 1/15 and I rested the camera against a doorway to make sure it didn't shake. I waited around a bit to get the right composition of people. I'm pretty happy with the result although I would have liked to have the person on the left a little further away from the edge of the photo and avoided the car in the distance.
