The sun also rises in the land of the rising sun

On the evening of my trip to Menton I masochistically went for a walk around Nice, not for any real reason except, perhaps, to experiment with the camera.



This was an 8 second exposure f6.7 after adjustment for white balance. The problem with 8 second exposures is that it's quite difficult to stand still for that long (how did early Victorian photographers manage with these 30 second exposures!). One tends to "sway". This is more noticeable with side-on pictures, for which I can't even seem to keep motionless for even three seconds.
