Chicago: A twilight study of LakeshoreEast

I found LakeshoreEast park to be very peacefull and beautiful at twilight as all the lights came on. Most of these photos are from the central park, looking out. A few extra photos are from the outside, looking back.
Unfortunately, the light faded rapidly.

I love that park. This little slice of green is quite a place for skyscraper enthusiasts to sit and enjoy the scenery.

Great shots.

Cool keep going with the studies. Maybe try a tripod next time to get better light.

Yeah I do need a tripod. I rest the camera on things, but you still need to tilt.
My camera's Night Snapshot mode works well for moderate light, but for the long exposure Night Scene setting, you really can't have your hand on the camera.

I've seen these little clamp ones that can fit in a pocket.
