I did take all my photos that morning (about 45 in total) from a tripod, including these. The problem I had was that our studios are just off a major highway. And even though it was before dawn on Christmas morning, there was still enough truck traffic that you could discern very small vibrations in the floor almost constantly. So I was constantly taking test shots as the sun came more and more over the horizon, trying to get the fastest shutter speed I could to knock out the motion blur from those vibrations. That meant a higher ISO than I would have liked, particularly for the pre-dawn shots. It was a real balancing act! It also doesn't help that my tripod is over 35 years old, and will wobble if I breathe too hard in the same room <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />But I understand what you're saying, and I'll keep that in mind for when I'm shooting low light in very stable conditions. Thanks so much (and your boat pic is GORGEOUS)!</blockquote>
