Fondamente Cannaregio

Another night shot of the street I'm staying in, the apartment is on the left bank. This was shot with the Leica M8, and 24mm Elmarit, handheld at 3 seconds. (Only kidding, I leant it on a bridge parapet). I like the way the highlights of the lamps came out - serendipitious, or was it the lens....

Perhaps some sensitive Italian city engineer has carefully specified the lenses to be used in the street lamps. Now, that's a nice thought.

You have posed an interesting technical question......worth a follow-up.

@chuckeroon - the star shapes are a result of the aperture blades (the 24mm has 8) but these have a nice clarity that I haven't often observed before.

Lovely twinkles. There are also those gratings that poor saps like me might be tempted to buy (no, I don't have one and don't intend to) to get the stars...

3sec at 16 f/stop? 100 ISO ore less?
