OK, this is from July 4th in Minneapolis, but I wanted to wish our fellow revolutionary brothers & sisters a bon quatorze juillet! France is, after all, the home of the City Daily Photo Blog, thanks Eric!

Believe it or not, I took this night photo hand-held with a telephoto lens. Yes, it’s the Nikon 70-300mm VR to the rescue. 1/6th of a second at f/4.5 and a focal length of 165mm. If you breath slow enough, you don’t need a tripod!

I’m itching to get back there, I took this when I was down to see the bridge with my friend Chris. We stopped by to visit his sister-in-law Amy who sells yummy shortbread and scones at the open-air market there. She said that in the morning, the shadow of the sign hits a red wall behind it in a way that all you can see are the two letters ‘ME.’
