While staying in the Custom House in Boston, MA, I ventured up to the 23rd floor one evening in January to view the city at night. I had grabbed my camera as an afterthought when I left my room... no tripod however. To say it was cold up there with the wind blowing would be a vast understatement! But I was so impressed with the view, that I could not pass up the photo opportunity. I braced the camera and my shaking hands on the railing and hoped that making many shots at a 3 second exposure would allow for at least one lucky shot steady enough for processing. I later found that one indeed worked.
