Outside City Centre

I reckon you felt really brave PhilipG...

As long as the camera isn't moving, why is a tripod indispensable?
I wouldn't feel safe messing with one on Park Road!

But the point I'm trying to make is I like to take photos as quickly and unobtrusively as possible, especially when I'm on my own in a dark street.

My safety is more important than a good shot.

Using a tripod at night, when alone in a dark street doesn't seem a wise move to me.
Even taking photos in daylight leaves oneself open to muggers.
I know because I've been to all the sites in Liverpool (over 100) that used to have cinemas & have snapped them all.
