Quiet night comes so quickly :)

Find good place for flexible tripod.

Setup ISO100 and automatic time. Nokia will be enabling that option for more than one second exposure.

I found the interesting to start using the EV correction +0,7 or 1,0 in the other shots of this scene and that manual setting should help in some kind of specific lighting conditions for improving the picture even in camera. That's great about Nokia Camera settings while I'll be still complaining about MS/NOKIA update about fixing the bug which us full and free possibility of manual setup of exposure time from 1 sec to 4 seconds. Especially in manual mode ;-)

Actually I found the same camera effect with bright reflecting watersurface in basin like in my previous "Waverley rooftops" snaps with bright reflecting rooftops there.

Nokia camera automatically setup 1,5-2 seconds which is fair enough for taking a pictures in low light conditions like that.

That's a really funny thing about Lumia "social phone". Of course, smartphone I would like to say.


Hope that you'll be enjoying that view for todayTIME :-)

Have a good night ... or morning ;) it depends when you are starting your blip application in pocket/tab device or you are logging into the tab in your web browser on site (;
