| | | | I don't know what kind of camera you're using, but if you can set the shutterspeed and aperture... then you can use long exposures for your pictures, since you're near a window and there should be light coming through.

| | | | Well, it all depends if you are in the United States or not. Or at least it must, otherwise you wouldn't have posted it in the US thread.
There aren't many good solutions to your problem. My personal choice would be to use a tripod and just do a long exposure... if there is a window, there should be some sort of ambient light. Even if there isn't any, you could paint the seen with a low power flashlight during the long exposure.
Others have discussed the use of an IR filtered flash with IR sensitive film/digicam. Its an interesting idea, but difficult to pull off.
And of course, the obvious solution, bring something to block the window with.
Even partially blocking the emitted light should help, especially in the right conditions, ie lightning storm/foggy night.

| | | | If you are talking about the building AG told me about in Dallas, Dirtbag used the flash on the roof, about 4 times I think. I guess it all depends on where you are and consider who may see you and whatnot. But, to echo the sentiments of others, I hate flash photography when I have the option of a long exposure.

| | | | If you can, bring a simple peice of folded cardboard box. It can cover most windows, or at the very least, cover them to the point where nobody will see the light or care about it (negligible 2 inch bar of momentary light sort of thing).
Yup.
Peace out.
>_< Mochi, helpful today.

| | | | If you are taking pictures near windows just spread out the times you do them. Chances are a passerby isn't going to be looking directly at the window you're in unless you've gotten their attention already. What'll most likely happen is if they see a flash, they'll do a double take, then get bored after a few seconds and go on their way. Heh.
