We could see much of "downtown" Sydney from our apartment balcony. It being close to Christmas, they were illuminating several buildings close by (TownHall area). This particular one changed color every 30 seconds or so. Every once in a while, it was orange. This was a test of my new (2016) Panasonic GX85. I set it at ISO 25,600, which accounts for the obvious noise you will see in the photo. However, after a little work in GIMP, I was able to make it square format, and improve the details a little. Overall, I'm amazed by the low-light capability of this camera.

The "wheel" in Singapore is well-lit with many colorful LED's and changes. Taken with the Panasonic Lumix GX-85. More photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html

Taken as we entered the amazing Sydney Harbor at night. The high-ISO capability of the Nikon D700 made this photo possible. More photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html and swansongrp.com/oz2016/sydney_entrance.html

Taken when we lived in Maui. We could see the ships coming and going from Kahului Harbor, while sitting on our lanai. This was the "Pride of Hawai'i", leaving the harbor. We did not have any fancy digital camera at the time, so just set a long shutter and let the ship make a "smear".

Taken from our cruise ship as the sun set on this amazing scene. We had a Kodak point-and-shoot with no low-light capability, so set the shutter to 1/4 second. Had to use the railing of the ship to brace. More photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html

Budapest at night, including the remarkable bridges along the river. More photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html

This "pirate ship" party boat came very close to our cabin on the cruise ship. The noise was deafening. This shot of the party-goers was made possible by the high-ISO capabilities of the Panasonic Lumix GX-85. More photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html

Our cruise ship was in the main harbor in Malta. We enjoyed visiting this very interesting area, and the ship was just about to leave, when I noticed that many of the main landmarks were illuminated. (Seems like plenty of shadows to complement the lighted areas, per the Sunday Challenge.) Took several shots, using the high ISO capability of the Nikon D700. Image processed with GIMP.

Every time we've visited Hong Kong, the night views have been spectacular. In the old days, it was incandescent bulbs, then neon. Now, vast amounts of LED's (and lasers) light up the night sky. This is an example of the very good high ISO capability of the Panasonic GX85. More night photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html
