I hope I'm not repeating a thread but I'm hoping on some advice on night time skyline pics. I have a Canon 1000D and will be in New York in 3 weeks and was hoping to get some good night pics (top of Empire State bldg etc). Is the night setting on the cam,era fine or is there better settings I could use. I doubt I will have a tripod as not keen on lugging one around.

Thanks
