Some of you may have seen these already but wanted to share for the rest of the class.

click any pic for a larger version.

I didn't use a tripod for any of these, but I did use ledges or other supporting structures to balance. As noted, many were hand-held (using burst shots). This is handy for instance when, you want to take a night shot in the middle of the street, with cars around.

(EXIF for as many shots as I could find and/or applicable.)
