Gotta do some of that with RAW. Full agreement on the gorillapod. I got the gorilla slr zoom and it's been awesome. Great to have a tripod in my bag all the time.

I mainly use a Gorillapod when I'm out and about in the city (security don't seem to mind so much as opposed to my Manfrotto tripod). http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexrichards/3144285027/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexrichards/2927264173/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexrichards/2910148673/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexrichards/2811921837/ Granted, I did use DRI for most of the shots but I probably could have pulled back (most) the data without using DRI from my RAW files. Patience and trial and error. I thought it’d throw a few of mine in for good measure.

I definitely required a tripod with mine however. The light was so low that I could not focus on anything, nearly pitch black out however 30 seconds gave it some light. http://www.flickr.com/photos/justin-fritts/3679137347/sizes/o/ Thought I’d throw mine in here too.

The way I read it you were saying that somehow the light intensity was greater because of the reflections. You could use the same exposure settings with a dry road, and the neons would still look the same, but the road would be dark. I was just thinking of it from the other side of things.

Just in support of what you're saying: I've taken to carrying a tiny Coolpix camera with me when I'm travelling for business. I took this in Chicago recently handheld and through the hotel window. It's now one of the most viewed Flckr uploads: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nigelfj/3563181566/ Thanks, Chris, good advice.

The challenge with low light is time and exposure. I like your cityspace really give a good feel for the mood. I think your pictures are good. The challenge with low light is time and exposure.
