Sunset View

I was going through my external HD and came across the photos I took in Paris last year. 

My DSLR stopped functioning at that time, so I had to use a digital camera. I was very frustrated as I was quite used to getting sharp, clear and just high quality images, the image quality of the digital camera just did not do it for me. Whilst queuing to go up the Eiffel tower, I thought of how I could have captured the scenery and events better in France had I used my DSLR and whatnot, which heightened my bitter mood. I queued for nearly 3 hours and by the time I got to the top, dark clouds were forming and the sun was hiding behind them; the mood was gloomy, but seeing Paris from a high place altered my perspective of the city - literally and figuratively. I think I understood the reason better as to why Paris is called the city of love. 

I mean, how could anyone not fall in love, or feel the love in this beautiful city? Half an hour passed and I was still admiring the streets and buildings. The scene in the photo took my breath away though. The sun finally made its presence known and made everything look even more magnificent. Everything looked perfect, even my bitter mood became sweet when I saw this. 

I was no longer upset about my camera and learnt that the story behind a photograph is much more important than the image quality.
