this gets some threashold exposure in the shadows.

with photoshop you can lay the street light image ove the shadow detail image and adjust for brightness and have an image with intense depth and detail.

Question: Can you take multi pics on the same frame like you could do with film camera... -- nm - BAD Jan 29, 21:50 6
- You don't need to now. Digital images can be overlaid with a graphics editor. -- nm - mara Jan 30, 04:39
- I don't know, I know some early dslr were just a capture chip mounted in a 35mm body so they retained the functions of the old film cam bod - zeitgeist for dogs Jan 29, 21:57 2

    - oh, most can still do bulb exposures. -- nm - Reagen Jan 29, 22:12
- I think some cameras you can. My point and shoot won't, though. - psilotum Jan 29, 21:51
- I've never seen a DSLR that can, but PS kind of makes that obsolete. -- nm - Reagen Jan 29, 21:51
