The time that I visited prior to this the guards were nice and let me take shots of just about everything with my tripod (on the way out one of the "security" people (not one of the actual guards) said something to me, but that was it). I think a lot of it depends on who is working that day and the amount of people in there that day (a Wednesday afternoon in October is probably more likely to be allowed a little more leeway than a weekend in July for example).<br /><br />I did purchase a gorillapod for future trips though so I can wrap it around the railing if I need to as well.<br /><br />And yes, the middle section of the railing there is flat enough that you can press down on the camera to steady it enough to get the shots. You don't want to do 30 second exposures that way, but for a few seconds you can mostly isolate camera movement (unless people are walking up and down the stairs, that causes the whole thing to vibrate).Brian Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10916463151597324052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304983070876342143.post-3029701921643446372011-03-23T11:55:13.073-05:002011-03-23T11:55:13.073-05:00I am a huge fan of airplanes and the SR71 Blackbir...I am a huge fan of airplanes and the SR71 Blackbird is near the top of my list!

I know there is a railing int he area you took that shot from, did you steady the camera on the railing?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08568903342139562436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304983070876342143.post-80680497043894285192011-03-23T09:05:51.042-05:002011-03-23T09:05:51.042-05:00Love the perspective!
