Paris Pipi

Or why you should always inspect your footage carefully

Timelapase of Notre-Dame and the Seine in Paris

For my first trip ever to Europe, I landed in Paris. I had a full week in the City of Light and was determined to capture as much footage as possible before moving on to another country.

After a long day of walking, I was ready to call it a night when I passed by this view of Notre-Dame. Normally, I try to capture scenes like this earlier in the evening, when the sky still holds a bit of color. But I figured… why not? One last shot before heading home.

Years later, while browsing through my portfolio, I noticed something unexpected about this shot.

Is it what I think it is? Let’s zoom in:

Yup.

Now I wonder how many small details like this I’ve missed in my other clips.

Having been back to Paris a few times since, I can’t say I’m all that surprised.
