A restless traveler and seeker of exotic sights, he roamed throughout the Middle East and north Africa, from Morocco to Turkey. He even traveled as far as India and China, photographing as he went. In 1894, he converted to Islam, and soon thereafter made the pilgrimage to Mecca. He returned with some of the earliest known photographs inside the holy city, which were published in L’Illustration in 1897.

Gervais-Courtellemont was one of the first masters of Autochrome, an early color photography process. The long exposure times necessary for the process meant it was only suitable for relatively static scenes. Renowned for his precise composition, attention to detail, and painterly use of light and color, Gervais-Courtellemont became a photographer for National Geographic.

But Mother Nature clearly felt she could lend the scene a little added pizzazz. This remarkable shot of a forked lightning bolt streaking through the sky behind the 1,063ft iron tower was ­captured by amateur photo­grapher ­Bertrand Kulik. The 31-year-old from Paris – which is known as the City of Light – said: ‘The weather was dry and the sky appeared to be completely clear, but suddenly it started to thunder. ‘I quickly grabbed my ­camera and put it on a tripod by the window in the hope I could get an action picture – but I never thought I would get such a ­magnificent shot.’ Electrifying: The Eiffel Tower glows blue as it is struck by the forked lightning bolt.

Le résultat est édifiant (photo taille réelle à la fin de l’article) décryptage avec cet alpiniste urbain, un peu fou, que nous avons interviewé ! Qui êtes-vous ? Comment avez-vous eu l’idée de cette photo ? Je suis photojournaliste depuis trente ans, je couvre notamment des reportages à vocation culturelle, historique ou scientifique. Je suis aussi spécialisé aussi en prises de vues aériennes et sous-marines. Comment avez-vous réussi à prendre cette incroyable photo ? Cela était assez stressant car je ne pouvais pas voir mon cadrage « en direct ». Aviez-vous une combinaison anti radiation? Snow in Paris (December 8, 2010) Paris vu de l'espace !

Paris vu de l'espace !

Ces photos de Paris vu de l’espace ont été prises depuis la station spatiale internationale (l’ISS). Sur certains clichés, on remarque que Paris, ville lumière, brille bien moins que Londres ! Voici donc notre sélection des photos de Paris vu de l’espace. A noter que la qualité des photos est assez inégale, car certaines sont tirées de films et non pas d’un appareil photo.
