One of the things I promised myself is that I would photograph this trip to the best of my ability. I would strive to utilize not only my skills and knowledge, but also fully exploit my hardware. This included shooting some extended exposures like the ones I shot in Brussels which required me packing my sturdy Manfrotto tripod and lugging it around the city.
I also wanted to shoot some HDR, and while I should have shot those with a tripod, I ended up shooting them handheld. The results (I think) are very good.
Built in image stabilization is my friend.

Gorgeous! Did you have an opportunity to dance on the bridge?
Breathtaking. Or, to revamp a has-been meme:
1. Inquisitive Spirit
2. Tenacity
3. !!!
4. (PROFIT)
These shots are great. Particularly as they are had held.
