Photographer's Note
Lyon's 'Hotel de Ville' (City Hall).
It has been built in 1646 by Simon Maupin, then restaured in 1674 after a fire that partly destroyed it... All the inside decoration and furniture had been changed during the Second Empire (1852-1870).
The City Hall is one of the numerous very interesting architectural realisations in Lyon's Peninsula (Presqu'ile, between the two rivers: Rhone & Saone.) Other exemples come from the Roman Empire, the middle-ages, the Renaissance, XIXht century, and of course modern realizations.
Lyon has a very interesting night lighting of its buildings, that I hope I showed here... In this place, there are 68 small fountains, in the ground. And a big one in the north, built by Bartholdi. The total number of fountains is then 69... that is exactly the number of the Rhτne's department wich Lyon is the main city.
One of my firsts night shots. But why this car just decided to stop there at that moment ??!

Pretty City Hall you have in Lyon! I liked, but to me the picture is a little inclinated to the right.
If you have possibility, take another picture in an another angle, like that: Mourisco Castle.
A close one in the details of the faηade will gave a good picture too I think, see that my: Real Gabinete
Great note you write!
Keep posting!

Nice picture, with good lighting. There is a small problem with the horizon, but i like it a lot. Your notes are very detailed.

Bonjour Youssef,
POur un debut c'est un bon resultat, d'autant plus que l'eclairage du batiment est plutot difficile, concentrant une plus forte lumiere sur la partie centrale.
Ce qui apparait aussi c'est un leger manque de nettete du a une trop grande ouverture focale, pour photographier batiments et paysages il vaut mieux selectionner la plus petite ouverture possible (valeur f/ la plus grande) pour avoir une bonne profondeur de champ. La vitesse se regle ensuite en fonction de l'ouverture, le mieux est de se mettre en mode manuel, mais je ne suis pas sur que ton appareil dispose de ces reglages ?
Bonne journee,
jean-Yves

What a grand building. Night photography is so fun. Maybe next time you can try a longer exposure by raising the f-stop, just to compare.
And your note about the car was amusing too :)

L'exposition est globalement satisfaisante. Il ιtait difficile d'ιviter la surexposition sur l'horloge, cette partie ιtant visblement surιclairιe. La prise de vue centrιe, bien que conventionnelle, convient bien, de mon point de vue, ΰ ce type de monuments qui ιrige la symιtrie en ligne de conduite architecturale.
