Eiffel tower from the bottom

Eiffel tower from the bottom. Was there anyway i could have avoided

the overexposed parts?

Well, if you had gone to manual and shot it with the same shutter speed and same ISO but smaller aperture, that is one way, but there are others. . . .

 

Unique angle for me, although I am sure that it has been done many times.

I would imagine shooting this image in HDR would seriously improve the image quality substantially. The HDR would thereby solve your overexposed dilemma.

a nice angle though it is not very appealing. yes, hdr would solve this issue.

If you use Photoshop, you might be able to recover the details by using curves, reducing the exposure, and selectively painting over only those parts that seem blown out. However, honestly I think this is a fine, graphic image.

Thanks all for youre sugestions, may i ask a question, what is hdr?

It stands for High Dynamic Range. Check this site out Luminous Landscape for a very good explanation.
