Paris Skyline from the Arc de Triomphe

168 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Arc de Triomphe, Paris, France

To say that the Arc de Triomphe is an iconic monument would be an understatement. Second if only to the Eiffel Tower itself, it’s the most well-known and easily recognizable structure in Paris, France. Designed by the neoclassic architect Jean-François Chalgrin, it was inaugurated in 1836 by the French king Louise-Philippe. The Arc de Triomphe serves as monument to the armies of the Revolution and the Empire.

At the center of Place Charles de Gaulle, one can enjoy the 360-degree view from the observation deck. At fifty meters high, the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile provides unobstructed panoramic views of the entire city. The étoile or "star" of the juncture was formed by it’s twelve radiating avenues and grand thoroughfares.

While tripods are not allowed atop the structure, I made the best of the available sunlight to carefully handhold my camera and rotate it around an imagined axis for this series of images. Late in the afternoon on the crisp autumn day, I blended three exposures in each input frame to compensate for the difference of the light in the brilliant sky above and dark shadows of the streets below.

I wanted to capture the expansive view with a VAST photo, both to provide an ultra-wide perspective, and for the added resolution to view these sites in detail on a large format print. To the south stands the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame along the Seine River to the southeast, and Sacré-Cœur to the northeast. At the eastern end of the well-known Avenue des Champs-Élysées at the center of the image stands the Louvre. With it’s beautiful architecture, rich history, fine cuisine and fine wine, it’s difficult to not be swept up in the romance that makes up Paris, France.

VAST Print™

A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:

  • Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
  • Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.

*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
