Photographing City Lights at Night

This evening we drove to downtown Cincinnati, OH. It was still daylight when we arrived. I took photos of the Purple People Bridge, a statue of the man for whom the city was named, and several other random photos. Then we went to a Bar-B-Q restaurant on the Ohio River. It was beautiful and the food was excellent! As we sat there, dining, the sun began to set. I took a few twilight photos through the restaurant window. (not ideal, I know.)When we had finished eating and walked outside, the lights were absolutely beautiful as they reflected on the water.

It was at this point that I truly regretted not bringing my tripod! I try to pack light. But my "light" is "ridiculous" to the rest of my family. So, I left the tripod.
"I won't want to lug it around," I told myself. Now I am kicking myself in the tail. Blurry photos are NOT pretty!!!
