This isn't perfect, but it's pretty damned good for 5:00 a.m. on a wet and foggy night when even the seagulls are walking. "And what did you take this with?" I hear you asking... "The Fuji Finepix SL1000" I reply. I should also confess that it has been edited just a little using Irfan Skiljan's "Irfanview", and resized to fit this blog better. Google doesn't like pictures that take up too many megapixels.
Compared to what we could do with digital cameras of only a few years ago, though, this is a vast improvement in their "night vision". And that all comes down to having bigger sensors, a good tripod, and a camera with ten seconds of time delay on the shutter if you want it - and I usually want it for shots like this.
And to say a word or two about that editing, Irfan Skiljan's 'Irfanview' is a freebie (all donations gratefully accepted) that does a better and more comprehensive job of editing your pictures than a lot of those pricey ones that you can spend your money on, but not get any better results. Irfan lives in Bosnia, and he is a really nice guy - and very smart! You should try Irfanview.
