Paris Opera House Staircase

Description

This photo was taken on Nov. 7th, 2008, in the Palais Garnier (the "Paris Opera House" of Phatom of the Opera fame). It's a hand-held 1/10 second exposure at ISO 1600 and f/5.6, taken with my trusty Canon Rebel XTi.

Oddly, this seems to be my most-stolen deviantART piece. To my knowledge, it has appeared without my permission on a fancy bookmark, the cover of a Japanese magazine, an advertisement for a Chinese health product, the background of a college student's fashion design project, and various blogs. No, this does not mean that you can use this image too. Yes, I do go after unauthorized use of my artwork. Ask me if you want to use it for something. I tend to be nice and say yes if and only if asked permission beforehand.

EDIT: I keep finding more instances of this being used without my permission! Now it's appeared in the advertising for a Canadian choral group and a Spanish ballet, as well as on a photo backdrop being sold on a Chinese photography equipment website. Unbelievable! Let me say it again: THIS IMAGE MAY NOT BE USED FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. If I don't get to make money off of it, you don't get to make money off of it. I'm probably shutting the stable after the horse has run off, but I'm adding a watermark, now.
