I recently visited Tokyo, Japan for a week, for some work-related commitments. This is the veiw out of the window on my ninth floor hotel room at Takeshiba, showing Tokyo Bay, with the Rainbow Bridge on the left hand side.
I left my tripod at home, so for this 30 second exposure, I balanced my camera on top of a coffee table on top of the room service trolley.
This was not the first time I've used whatever was available in the hotel room to support my camera for a long exposure photo - I have previously used a Coke can to support my camera when shooting out of a hotel window.
Great shot. I travel almost every year to Japan with my wife and daughter (Japanese). I have used such items in the past as well through out Japan as many places do not like tripods due to the masses that usually visit.
