Try, try, try again until you get it right.

Adams Street Bridge at Night, originally uploaded by Roy Carrington.

Sometimes it's best to fail miserably again and again before you do it the right way. This picture took me about 3 weeks to do. I was trying it out every Tuesday and I keep messing it up every Tuesday. I knew what I needed to do, but didn't want to do it. I finally broke down and brought a tripod for my camera. I should have done that from the beginning. The only problem was I didn't want to setup a tripod in the middle of a bridge with rush hour traffic going around me. Oh well, I did it anyway and this looks great. So if you saw me on the Jackson Street bridge and wondered who the idiot was. It was me. A happy idiot with a good picture. :-)
