I went out to shoot some nighttime photos in DC and forgot the camera shoe for my tripod.  Here, the camera was set on the ground with a small stone under the lens to raise it a bit – When you are scatter brained – you must be imaginative.

Well anyway I like the way the image turned out and I don’t think I would have been able to make a better photo if I had had my tripod with me.

A 5 RAW exposure HDR made in Photomatrix and with some minor adjustments in Photoshop.
