Moon Over Manhattan

Hello, fellow photographers. I'm returning after the holidays with a fascinating subject: Night-time Photography. The first requirement is a reasonably sharp lens. The second is a tripod
or stable surface, and third, a shutter release cable. I photographed the Chrysler Building with the moon in the background. The image was taken from atop the Empire State Building. I used a Nikon D200 with a 85mm lens. Camera settings: 1/6 of sec. , F/4.0, ISO 1000. Photographing at night takes practice, so don't give up!
