The composition of this shot of the Louvre Palais and Pyramid gives equal importance to both. This pretty much sums up about how I feel about the architecture, to me it's a perfect synthesis of the new and the old.

I really like what the subtle blue toning does to shots of contemporary architecture, in combination of a bit of extra contrast it's given this shot of the Arab World Institute a dramatic feel which wasn't quite so apparent at the time I shot it.

I've gone for a blue tint to this shot of La Defense as I thought it'd suit the crisp contemporary architecture.
If you decide to go to La Defense then I'd give some thought as to the time and day that you go. On a week day at lunchtime the place is crawling with people, if you decide to go on a Sunday morning you can almost have the place to yourself. If you've got time I'd recommend both...

With this shot of the Pantheon it's all about the drama, I've used my 11mm from quite close to the building and then used my current favourite post-production technique to pull as much detail as possible out of the stonework and the sky.
