Understandable with results like these!!!

@Pete, Lili : Thank you for the comments! This was a difficult shot as I needed a 6 seconds exposure and didn't have a tripod with me, I had to be creative and use street furniture to keep the X100 still and straight

These are dead of night, remarkably little ambient light, handheld with the X-Pro 1:









Really hard to describe how little ambient light is actually present in these shots. They all looked SOOOO dark when I took them that I could barely believe what I was seeing in the EVF after shooting them, and just assumed they'd have to be a noisy mess once I saw normal sized versions on the iPad. I'm pretty sure they were all shot at 6400.

I really like night shots. Here are some of my attempts, with XZ-1 at the 'Glow festival', where they project light/animations (and music) on city buildings (which of course attracted thousands of amateur photographers (carrying DSLR's on tripods). A disadvantage I find is the ugly sky colour caused by the artificial lighting.

Hand held, at the most difficult shots I had my camera on ISO 800, exposure about 0,5 seconds.
I tried some cropping, sharpening and noise reduction etc. in Lightroom.

This one was taken in rather extreme conditions: f2.0, 1/50s, ISO 3200, -2EV exposure compensation just to get a decent shutter speed. Exposure was then corrected in LR4.

I took several hours this week-end to go through, sort, and clean up my collection of photographs of the last few years. Deleted countless crap images I can't stand to look at anymore. This is one of those I salvaged, taken in early 2011 in London. I rather like the mood.

A well known Diner near the Music Factory in Charlotte, North Carolina. Shot with NEX7 and the Voigtlander 15mm at ISO 1600.

Dan, that's a very, very cool shot!
