Iiiiiii'm saaaaailing awaaaaaaaaaaaay....
Tonight's birthday surprise from the ever-stupendous ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ginkgo was a sunset sailing cruise on the Hudson, from Pier 59 on Manhattan, down to the Statue of Liberty and back. 2 hours, and an open bar. Woot! Attempts were made at pictures, but... dusk + city lights + rocking boat = no chance in hell of anything but blur. I'll see what can be scavenged. Dinner was a picnic picked up at the Chelsea Market on the way, and afterwards there was a snack (okay, second dinner) at Pop, which served up two mini burgers, damned good onion rings, and a strawberry shake for the low, LOW price of $15+. Per person. Luckily, we split it, so it was really only $15+ for both of us. :)
And now, I am teh ded.

Photo trick--expose for the lights (spot meter them at +1.5 or +2 if they're big enough, or adjust your exposure until they approach but don't push off the top end of your histogram), see how the rest turns out. You'll end up with silhouettes, but it can still make for a graphically interesting shot, and shortens your shutter speed significantly.
'Course, too late now. :)
