Here is another photo of the Capitol from the North end, this is actually the front side of the Capitol. Security on this side is very tight. You will see a number of Capitol Police officers walking around the area.

Tripod use is extremely prohibited in this side of the Capitol. You may be able to get away with a small tabletop tripod but if you need to use a full size tripod you need to get a permit. See the Filming and Photography In the District.
