This picture was taken when it was so dark that I really couldn't see well enough to focus, much less walk without a flashlight. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Bill+Larsen/L1000580.jpg.html I have learned not to take the M8 over 640 asa... make the exposure corrections in camera raw....and set the shutter speed to something that I can actually hand handle (which isn't 1/15th second) This pix is much brighter than my eyes remember. Is that a no-no to our people that actually have ethics about this? And do I correct the light balance to not reflect that the light was from a single 12 volt light on the side of a trailer? regards, Bill Larsen
