Cheers, I was there for 3 days and we didn't do any of the museums, just walked round taking photos mostly (these are only from the first set I've uploaded and there are more on flickr, and more to be uploaded)
To be honest the weather was pretty rubbish, really overcast during the day, so rubbish light, that's why all these pics are during the night/twilight or on the rare occasion where there was a little bit of sun!
I think I might have a fetish, I don't look at stairs the same way most people do
Yeah I've got a light weight tripod for travelling, as my alu Manfrotto is massive and weighs a tonne so strap this to my slingshot and it fits perfect:
Slik Sprint Mini II
