A recent stay on the plaza got me this snap!!

Canon S5...F/8, 3 second shot, ISO 80, -1 stop, Holiday Inn monopod!!

What, never heard of a Holiday Inn monopod?? Hehehe, I didn't take my tripod with me so I used a floor lamp of Holiday Inn's and set the camera atop due to the long shutter. I then used a 15 sec. timer before the capture so as to steady the make-shift monopod.

Any and all comments and critiques welcome!!

What a funny narrative on your monopod. I understand everything completely. I'm not a photographer but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. The plaza is great. Nice place to stay while taking in a ballgame. You should sell this to them for a postcart. It is quite good Randy.

A great capture, a well done night shot.
A Holiday Inn monopod!! It must be a pain
draging that around.

It's not how many megapixels. But how you use the ones you have.

As far as tripod's go, I'd rather use anything that works as a monopod on a photo shoot. I love the lighting you captured. Magnificent night shot Randy.
