A few from a very cold Paris around midnight!

[cirks]

Will be back again reguarly in the New Year for business and will take proper gear next time but snapped a few on Tuesday night. For those interested, they're handheld with a Canon G7 with pretty high ISO, hence the noise.

Indeed but its illegal to publish (or even take) shots of the tower at night

not that I or anyone else cares but just one to be wary of!

Interesting - I didn't know anything about this and there are no notices (that I could see) around the tower or the city. However, based on what I've now read, you're a bit extreme in your interpretation of the law. "The prohibition to photograph the eiffel tower by night does not apply to amateurs who take pictures strictly for personal purposes; art. 122-5 of the French Copyright Code " The photo is on my personal website and is not for commerical use. Whether it appearing via a link on PH classifies it as being for 'collective use' is a different matter
Anyway, just have a look at Flickr and see how many images are displayed.... The city of Paris can chase them first...

I dont care about those laws my good man! I got chucked out of the London underground in the name of photography - ok I did cause a train to do an emergency stop which in retrospect was a bit silly of me to have my head so close to the platform edge to get "that" shot

At least that saved you having to use a faster shutter speed then ?

Was it worth it?

criks when you are pushed to 1600 shutter speeds are pretty quick

John it may not be the worlds greatest but its one of my favourite film developed shots
