Arc De Triomphe – Paris – France

I’m a French-Lebanese photography enthusiast—you’ll often find me lying upside down in the grass or climbing trees, trying to bend the laws of physics in search of the perfect angle for my pictures.
I took this photo (basic one) twenty years ago, on August 28, 2005 at 12:27 a.m., at the “Arc De Triomphe” roundabout in Paris. I chose this spot because there are no traffic lights, which creates a natural sense of motion. I photographed it at night to highlight the contrast between the dark sky, the headlights, and the monument at the center. To enhance the atmosphere, I replaced the original sky—which I found dull—with two other photos taken by myself in different situations using the layers in ON1 Photo RAW MAX 2025.
