It happens to me from time to time, that I get opportunity to shot an interesting photo through the window of a car or a flat. Below you can see 2s exposure at ISO1600 with Nikon D70. Noise is quite visible, but I still find this photo quite usable. I didn’t use any advanced noise reduction in processing software, other than built-in in Adobe Camera Raw. I wouldn’t claim that I have the prettiest view from my window, (especially during a day), but at night an interesting light pattern reveals - interesting for photographer-insomniac.
It’s pretty interesting to see how fast sensor building technology advances. The previous digital SLR from Nikon, D100, is almost unusable during long exposures - even at ISO200, but it’s only two years older than D70.

What a beautiful picture, so clear and just ….I can’t really describe how it makes me feel there’s just something about it.

Thanks a lot! It’s really surprising how many photographic opportunities one can find every day… It’s all about having eyes open, doesn’t it?
