Picture this...

I took this picture with a Samsung Note 9 in night mode. It was a dark night and there was no artificial lighting or flash, and barely any moonlight. I couldn't even see the chicken coop; All I could make out by my eyes was the tree line and a single glint of moonlight reflected off the roof. This is the first camera I've ever owned that sees better in the dark than I do.

The 2nd photo is a version of the first where I played with some setting to see what is the maximum amount of detail I can distinguish in the picture.

Some recent photos, EXIF available for the curious. The first is on the Magothy River in Maryland, from a while ago but new post work. The second is from a neighbour’s dock, a few houses down the street, yesterday. The third from our garden, it’s nut burying season. The fourth is before the sunrise, using flash.View attachment 187788View attachment 187789View attachment 187791View attachment 187792
I like the first one best. The light and perspective are spectacular. It's so good that I'm going to add it to my list of desktop backgrounds, if you don't mind. :)

Happy to have you do that. If you private message me the exact dimensions of your desktop I can make a fitted version for you.

Thanks. My desktop measures 1920 x 1080 pixels. You can send me the file through PM, or post it here if you like.

And BTW, here's yet another outstanding pic of a bug taken by my beloved one. I found its combination of color, texture and depth quite beautiful.

OK, here's a 16:9 1080p sized version. Enjoy it, it pleases me that you like it.

EDIT: The forum software seems to resize things, so here's a link instead of posting it here: https://yaakov.me/magothy-sunrise-1080.jpg
