One of the gifts I received for Christmas was a tripod. (Thanks Patricia!) All of the photos in this post were taken using a tripod and a wireless remote. I bought a wireless remote from B&H to prevent shutter release vibrations from my heavy ungraceful finger. It’s been great taking photos on demand. Having a tripod is opening up some creative juices and I look forward to using it more in the future. I also like shooting night shots with a low ISO. No graininess. Enjoy the night time, low light goodness!
From the 46th/Bliss Street platform looking westward. On a side note, it was really cold that night! brrr
That's the 7 local train whizzing by at 46th/Bliss Street.
This is the first photo I took using the tripod. You can't tell, but I took it in really low light.
Downtown Manhattan skyline from the Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Brooklyn bridge at night. I like how the Empire State building is in the background.
I've always wanted to try shooting flowing water with a slow shutter speed. Too bad the water is from the east river.
Ironically, I went inside the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory to warm up.
Another classic tripod shot. This is the Brooklyn Queens Expressway taken from the promenade.
I'm amazed sharpness a huge depth of field creates.
hey jon! all these shots look awesome! dunno which pics are my faves, but for now i’m really liking the flowing water and the bqe. happy new year!
@susan Happy new year! The flowing east river one is kinda rustic. I like the colors in the photo.
