These two pictures were taken a few seconds apart. The one above is what I could see with my eye. The shutter was open for a fraction of a second. And this was with a digital camera where the quantum efficiency is much higher than that of a silver nitrate film. Below is a shutter time of 8 seconds. You'd think it was just a dull day. It was close to full moon, but the moon was behind the clouds. It shows how much light is out there and gives an insight into the world of nocturnal animals.
