The Tenin Technique

The Tenin Technique:* A unique perspective on an otherwise ho-hum stained glass window : Basel, CH

Today, City Daily Photo bloggers around the world are honoring the original city daily photo blogger, Eric Tenin of Paris Daily Photo. For the last five years, Eric has posted a photo of his beloved Paris without missing a day. Pretty impressive, if you ask me! In honor of his accomplishment and of the phenomenon he started, I'm posting two pictures. The first features a photo I took this past weekend of a stained glass window in the Baseler Münster in Basel, CH. The second features a picture I snapped in Paris last summer on the grounds of the French Senat at the Jardin du Luxembourg.

Congratulations, Eric! Here's to another five years of photo blogging.

* My understanding of the Tenin Technique is that you find unusual/unique ways to take pictures of things. Of course, many of us have been doing that for a while now, but it's good to give it a name and I can't think of a better person to name it after! Perhaps it will enter the lexicon and end up on Wikipedia...???

Great shots! I'm not sure what makes these "Tenin Techniques," but they show a good photographic eye!

Super post! The superimposition of stuff in the 1st is great, the POV on the 2nd is unusual...I'm thinking is it a photo of a picture, how large is everything?

I really had to hunt to meet find something for the Tennin post - made me realize that out of 1000s of photos I take, I'm not using an unusual POV very often. (Would of helped if I realized about the TD before it got dark... :\
