Monochrome Monday Structures
Good Morning, I hope you had a good weekend
As I tend to do starting the week with a few Monochrome edits, and the subject I came up with for this week was structures and buildings, well I guess structures would suffice since a building is a structure :)
This first one is a residential building which I see when I walk on the Harbor walk on top of the Hurricane barrier wall here in New Bedford MA, nothing really special about it, I guess and yet it catches my eye whenever I take a walk here

This next shot is taken on Pope's Island when I walked into the Fleet Marina area, as I do like this view looking over the water towards the swing bridge.
It was pretty dark when I took this probably one of the first shots I took that morning, I had my tripod with me and had the camera setup on it which was absolutely needed as to catch this amount of light. I needed a 64 second exposure.
Speaking of hand holding the camera or using a tripod, with image stabilization in many cameras these days with a very stable scene, ie not movemnt in what your taking a photo of I have read they say it's possible if you're very steady to hand-held shots up to 1/2 a second maybe even a full second.
BUt either i am not confident in my hand holding capability, or have my tripod with me most of the time when I head out, i generally dont try hand held shots unless I have a shutter speed fast than 1/50th of a second
What I love about this shot is the star bursts I caught from the lights
