Taken around mid-september 2004, while schmoozin' my wife at Ferry Landing (Coronado).

Oh, anyone with shots of Hotel Del Coronado (especially at night, from the bridge, with Christmas-season fireworks), bring it on!!!

    Did you crop this out from the original file? its very apparent. :):

    I say give it a little tilt and clean up the noise.

    Now if I had remembered to check my resolution settings, I wouldn't have ended up using 2MP (instead of 5) and, as I said to someone else, NOT having a tripod didn't help any.

    There's a rail on that landing. Balance the camera on that thumb.gif

    Even if all you are able to do is brace against something, that's still better
    than nothing.

    SDO is a pretty place from Coronado. Especially right around dusk. I had the
    wonderful opportunity of living just up from where your shot was taken.

    Were you visiting San Diego or do you live around there? That makes a difference. If you live nearby you can always shoot again. If it was just a visit, you had to do the best with what you had at hand. It's a beautiful place to visit and your picture will be something to remind you of a good time. Just straighten the water line and make the buildings vertical and you'll have a nice momory.

    If you get the chance to take night shots again try to take them a little earlier so you get some light in the sky. I took some of San Francisco on a visit without a tripod. I used a trash can and the dock railing for stability.
