Yes, it did, bit easily visible in the link, despite your proximity to light sources.rjsterry said:
Not sure if the compression will remove the stars, but the Pixel's ability to photograph night skies is quite impressive.

For suburban London, we get relatively little light pollution. The camera has still picked up more than I can see with the naked eye.briantrumpet said:

Interestingly, two of my mafffia (les Brianettes) thought that my selfie was the opposite of what I was doing... does it look like ascending or descending to you?0

Cheers, I was keeping an eye out for a while for an opportunity:briantrumpet said:
Autumn colour. 👍
A smattering of light on a sapling in a dark patch of woodland.👍
Enough light for some bokeh.👍
Not 40mph winds!! The hardest bit.👍0 -

Interesting. No, it's uphill. Must be the low camera angle that does it.Pross said:

From the photography aspect, sometimes I try these with the camera perched on a pole/road sign, but then you tend to get lots of uninteresting tarmac in the photo... quite often 'low' works best for the composition.0 -
Catch up time. Way back in August.
Turns out the majority of my photos are family and pretty grab shots, not photographic.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

I'd try using the fireworks setting on my Sony, but I've not been in the right place at the right time yet.0 -
I was hoping to get some thunderstorms and even went to a local viewpoint when there was some in the area but got there too late, we don't get them often enough to really make an effort at it but it one of the things I want to capture. The other issue of course is that you need to be able to protect your kit (and yourself) whilst doing it.0

Yeah, I set up in a covered doorway.Pross said:...The other issue of course is that you need to be able to protect your kit (and yourself) whilst doing it.

Scenery was superb on a walk up the River Wye from Piercefield Park in Chepstow to the Eagle's Nest yesterday but very challenging for a novice to get the lighting right. Trying to get the detail of the Severn Bridges to come through whilst not having the the foreground being too dark has been frustrating me, it didn't help that it was quite hazy. Apparently tourism in the UK started with trips along this section of river and the word picturesque was first coined to describe the valley.

It looks to me as if the last two would have benefited from HDR to flatten out the contrast between light & dark... I've just had a play with the last one, and didn't get a satisfactory result...
Re picturesque... the word goes back to at least 1705... from the OED:1705 R. Steele Tender Husband iv. 43 That Circumstance may be very Picturesque.
1749 U. ap Rhys Tour Spain & Portugal 86 The Ends of their Veils..tied in so pretty a Manner, as to render their Figures extremely pittoresque.
1768 W. Gilpin (title) An essay upon prints; containing remarks upon the principles of picturesque beauty.
1815 W. Scott Guy Mannering I. xvi. 263 Poets, players, painters, musicians, who come to rave..about this picturesque land of ours.0 -

These things are subjective though.

Yep, slight mishearing of something in a recent TV programme by me by the looks of it.

Like the repetition of the bright reflection on the Wye and Severn. I do miss being a bike ride away from this and the Cotswold edge.Pross said:Scenery was superb on a walk up the River Wye from Piercefield Park in Chepstow to the Eagle's Nest yesterday but very challenging for a novice to get the lighting right.

Certainly better than my effort, though, of course, without our having been there, only Pross can judge...
My use of HDR sometimes is just to make sure that at least the extremes of detail are there in the photo, and so is there for me to play around with later to try to get what I *think* I saw in real life.0 -
not as sharp on here as it is on my 'phone for reason. i dunno. #shouldershrug.The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.
