Side Cut 13 looks like you could have been in Audubon Park, New Orleans 
except your tress change brilliant colors.

Deep down I want to believe LeicaNikon built a custom Cassidy D700 capable 
of creating 128,000 iso. Can you imagine capturing the Rougarou at night 
with that sucker!

Actually, as I figure it, Kyle's images were taken at ISO 25,600 (two
settings beyond 6400, the camera's highest numerated setting).

To give equal time to the darkness-challenged, here are a few I took
today in rare NW Ohio bright sunshine with my "Leica" D700 (if it had
been wearing Solms glass it would've been a Leicon) at one stop
*below* ISO 200, the camera's lowest numerated setting?equivalent to
ISO 100?for astronauts on the surface of the Moon, perhaps, or at any
rate 256 times slower than Kyle's. (Full disclosure: some of the
images are at ISO 200.)

Side Cut Park, along the Maumee River (largest of the Great Lakes
tributaries) is part of the Toledo-Lucas County Metropark system. It's
named for the "side cut" extension of the Miami-Erie Canal connecting
the main canal with the city of Maumee. Three of the original six
locks are preserved in the park and shown in my photos.
