This is the result of a "rehearsal" tonight for a panoramic of Lincoln Center... with so much architecture, using a tripod is really probably a better idea. I need to try to go back during the early evening, when I can still get a blue sky. I'm not sure if they'll let me use the tripod, so I'm testing things out first in case I only get one chance.
Ideally, I'd like to do two exposures -- one for the buildings, and one for the sky -- and merge them. But that's probably hoping for too much. A decent substitute will be to take the shot during those few minutes at dusk when things balance naturally -- I'm pretty sure a morning shot would be stymied by them having the fountain off.
