Temperatures got to 67F (19C) today, so I took a walk along the river. It used to be that a long exposure required a tripod, and some testing of shutter speed and aperture. But now, you can just point the phone! But I do think the phone sometimes is bit over-done, so I'd like a way to scale it back a bit.
I think the phone goes a little overboard with the long exposure. I wish there were settings to tone it down a bit.  First visit to the river this year!

I have an appreciation for Brutalism, but I don't love it.

These stair structures are at various points at the river and are connected to bridges over railroad tracks. These get you over the tracks and then down to river level. They are old, and one was recently closed because the bridge is considered unsafe. It will probably be a century and a half before the City gets a grant or something to fix it, and in the meantime when I go to that spot, I guess I'll have to climb over the tracks myself -- which is not my favorite thing to do.
