Day 69 - Night Vision

There are a lot of interesting details in this night-vision photograph. The shadow of the tree in the foreground, the shine of the dim light on the ice-packed snow, the silhouetted tree in the background, not to mention the borg-like figure in the centre of the sidewalk.

That's Patti, by the way, wearing a special head-light that makes walking the dog safer at nighttime. We took Marlee out for her evening walk, giving me a chance to practice low-light photography between near falls on the icy walkways. Unfortunately, the Olympus' automatic settings simply can't handle night-time shots so I was forced to go to manual, open the aperture as far as it could go, then try to hold the camera as steady as possible through the long (1/4 of a second) opening of the shutter.

I was standing beside a fairly strong street light, which really helped, and I think the picture turned out pretty well.
