I've finally started getting out at night and experimenting with my camera settings. I wasn't aware of the humidity in the air causing brighter photos, but I know exactly what you're talking about as I've seen the results and didn't understand why at the time. I did laugh about taking night shots during the cold winter months. I was on the high bridge, 10 degrees, the wind blowing across the bridge down the Mississippi River....I lasted about 5 minutes and didn't get any decent shots to post. I could tolerate it on the bluffs and out of the wind. I enjoyed your long write up on night photography. I’ve finally started getting out at night and experimenting with my camera settings.

I wanted to try maxing out the bokeh and the long focal length was just the ticket. - Mitchster Ravsitar -

The bokeh is nice and round. Because of the way most lenses are made the aperture isn't perfectly (or even close to) round. This is a fine example of bokeh. What lens was that?
