When I shoot in tourist locations, like Piazetta San Marco, I find that sometimes the most difficult condition to deal with is crowd control.  Not having a remote shutter release exacerbates the problem.  Without a remote shutter release I must use my two second timer for longer exposures, such as this one.  That means I try to predict how the crowds will move, two seconds from when I hit the shutter, and for the length of the exposure, one to three or more seconds.  That means to get one decent shot I end up shooting dozens more exposures than I would normally.  A tripod is a must in these situations.
