The Panthéon
Eugène Atget (French, 1857 - 1927)
Active: Pantheon channels for 2 seconds, then leaps high into the air, vanishing and becoming immune to crowd control until he reappears. While in the air, Pantheon channels again for 2.45 seconds and grants sight around the target location 0.5 seconds into the channel. After 1.125 seconds into the channel, Pantheon prepares for landing by marking his destination with his. The Pantheon In the centre of Rome is the Pantheon, yet another iconic building in Rome which you'll want to photograph. It's a building that's equally nice to photograph from the exterior and the interior. One of the best times to photograph the building from the outside is the blue hour.

Object Description
Eugène Atget made this atmospheric study across the place Sainte-Geneviève toward the back of the Panthéon, a church boldly designed to combine the splendor of Greece with the lightness of Gothic churches. The church's powerful colonnaded dome, Atget's primary point of interest, hovers in the background, truncated by the building in the left foreground.
In order to make the fog-veiled Panthéon visible when printing this negative, Atget had to expose the paper for a long period of time. As a consequence of the long printing, the two buildings in the foreground are overexposed, appearing largely as black silhouettes. Together they frame the Panthéon, rendered entirely in muted grays. This photograph exceeds documentation to become more a study of mood and atmospheric conditions than of architecture.
