Weekend in the Motor City DETROIT (April 2011) Night Shots (Part 2)

Featured Replies

Posted

Here's the second part of my Detroit phototour from April 2011, this time with

night shots of downtown... I didn't have a tripod with me, so not all the pics

turned out as good as I wanted, but without further ado...

 

My hotel, the Westin Book-Cadillac

Fox Theatre, where I went that night for Charlie Sheen's first DISASTROUS show... it started well, but ended bad.

I really wish I brought my tripod, but oh well, they turned out well despite no tripod.

 

Hope you all enjoyed!

Still, great shots without a tripod!

I like the look of Greektown!

I like the monorail system.  In some ways, I find it to be better than streetcar or lightrail for downtown areas.

Pretty good stuff. Contrary to rumor, Detroit ain't dead yet.

Ditto all the above! I'm envious of the great shots you captured without lugging around a cumbersome tripod!
