First try at night photography

[Grandpaw]

Before I set out to go to town and try and take this picture I loaded up all my lens, tripod and everything I thought would be needed. When I arrived and started to set up the bracket to mount the camera to the tripod wasn't there so I handheld this shot using my Nikon D80 with the 18-200VR lens. Below are the settings.

This is the new bridge that was built between Ocean Springs and Biloxi Ms. that hurricane Katrina wiped out. The building at the left end of the bridge is the Isle of Capri casino.
