Eiffel Tower by night

I got taken on a boat trip down the Seine last night, a perfect opportunity to try out the night setting on the Nokia N93. To be frank, the results were less than perfect, proof again that low light is the enemy of digital photography, and camera phones in particular.
What was surprising was that the cameraphone enhancement button on the imaging software failed to work at all well. It seems to work best on the best images - it can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. This shot of the Eiffel Tower is quite atmospheric - the misty effect was quiet realistic.

Went rowing in Chichester Harbour, and a seal surfaced a few yards off and gave me a suspicious look. So I hauled out the N93 and took a few shots, although the process was delayed by my accidentally pressing the stills/video button a couple of times. The button is prominent on the edge of the unit, so you can swap easily - too easily in this case. I had to zoom in to the max of the optical zoom (3x) and wait until the camera got a stable image and fired off the button. The results are interesting and nice rather than good photograhically. As ever, the 'enhance cameraphone picture' button on Microsoft Digital Image Pro found it difficult to cope with a low quality image and actually made matters rather worse, coarsening the grain and over-heightening the colours.
