Two weeks ago my mom and I went on a day trip to Philadelphia. We opted for the bus seeing as the tickets were significantly cheaper and I was actually pleasantly surprised at how efficient it was. I spent the entire day dragging around my tripod to take some night shots for 30 minutes…not sure if it was worth it in the end. These were the three best pics of City Hall.

That first shot is pretty spectacular. I think it might have been worth it, although I know exactly what you mean. I recently dragged my tripod all around Maboneng for a day because I was planning to take pics after it got dark. Then I realized I had forgotten the mounting piece that connects the camera to the tripod. Oops.
Thanks Heather – glad it was worth it. I hate my tripod – it is pretty light as far as tripods go but it is also flimsy and hardly provides the stability you need if there is even the smallest gust of wind. And the mounting piece is always an issue…which reminds me I must tell my mom to take it off her camera before she leaves tomorrow 🙂
Gorgeous shots!!
Thank you Mandy
