Yep without a tripod it would have been horrible blurry.

Indeed used manual settings, more or less had to with that sky background and that thin (but tall over 800 meters) high needle in the middle.
Did some try outs (mainly to measure exposure), then switched to manual. Started with selecting aperture (didn’t want to waist all the time invested by having half the tower out of focus) to lock in DoF
Then set ISO
Then Shutterspeed

Obviously the shutyerspeed remained too fast to get those creamy clouds so as last step I added the ND filter and tried the few I have to see which one would give me the desired creamy clouds.

Finally connected my phone via WiFi with the camera and selected remote photographing (thus the phone becomes the cameras remote control hence no vibrations

O yeah and switched vibration reduction off

It was just a simple single photo. The camera settings and capabilities allowed me to get the desired result with just one shot.

Thanks for your ever so motivating support

Finally since long time we had some proper rain out here. It poured fir two days in a row with heavy thunder: the works do to speak. But it also brought a unique photo opportunity: the Burj Khalifa in a wat you seldom get to see it. I used f/14 Shutter 20...

Thanks for your kind words
