Just a thought. If you are on a tripod, you wont need to use a high iso. Unless of course there is motion you want to stop.

Unless things have changed, they don't allow tripod usage at Longwood Gardens.

Nice shots! Hope to get there myself one evening before it is taken down.

FWIW....
From Longwood's web page...

Yes, so pretty much any time between Thanksgiving and New Years Day, you aren't able to use tripods or monopods.

Beautiful shots, hand held no less! I love the ones with the reflections in the water.

This are remarkable photos. I would not be able to get such great detail as I would need a tripod. My hands are not as steady as they were years ago.
