In 2004 I stayed with my wife for around a week in February around St Valentines
Day in a hotel close to the Place de la République where Daguerre demonstrated
his invention in his Diorama. This was primarily a holiday for me and the
only camera I had with me was a compact digital Canon Ixus. In good light
the pictures are fine, but always oversharpened, which makes prints larger
than A4 a problem. In low light image quality plummets, so there are few night
pictures here. I had only had the camera for a few weeks, and had not got
used to the shutter lag, and had often actually begun to put the camera away
by the time it got around to taking a picture. But there were plenty of others
than I hope give an interesting view of the city, or at least some of our
favourite parts of it.
