Rome at night, part I

I surprised myself in my ability to pack everything for an 8 day trip using only carry-on luggage (I am usually quite the over-packer). I made it work, but there was no way a tripod would fit in my small carry-on. Dennis was nice enough to make room in his luggage for my tripod, so problem solved, right? Wrong. I managed to forget to pack the small piece that attaches the camera to the tripod.


There was a camera shop in Florence with some small, reasonably priced tripods and we ended up buying a 6 inch one. I obviously wouldn't have as much flexibility as with a full-sized, but using some benches I got a couple of okay night shots in Rome.
