Trying to take pictures in a revolving restaurant at night can be a challenge.
It takes an hour for the restaurant to revolve 360, so you only have 3-4 chances at the same location.
Reach as far as you can behind you and put the camera down on the floor ridge at the glass
that doesn't move. start focus,start 2 second shutter delay, manual exposure and aperture settings. 15 seconds shot - no good.
Start again, lower exposure, same aperture, too much glare. Start again... Start again...
Look up to find wife glaring at you... not good, but I got the shot! HA

I could not imagine your wife glaring at you for ANYTHING camera related! Nope, not happening! Like this shot though. Do you even remember what you dinner was like that you traveled half way around the world for.. The place that your wife asked to be taken there on a date with only you? Remember how THAT dinner tasted? No.. Well, thats ok. I guess.
