Across the Evening Drawbridge

A few weeks ago, when I was making an increasingly rare nighttime photo run, I was doing so under "Tokyo Disney rules," without tripod, just taking photos by hand. This was natural for on ride photos, since a tripod is frown upon aboard motion vehicles, but it was more challenging for longer, multiple exposures to capture more light from a scene and layer into a composite, balanced photo.  Fortunately, a helpful railing and a flip-out screen to help compose the screen assisted greatly. The latter was not an amenity I possessed when I visited the Tokyo Disneyland Resort last, in 2016, but it certainly made framing and holding the camera still easier and from a more comfortable position.  I wasn't willing to take my shutter down super slow, so there is still noise in the resulting blend. But it's not bad for something taken without fixed stabilization!
