Thread: DIY Night Vision

So I went for a walk with the missus down to one of the local parks. It is a good test because the trees block out the majority of artificial light from the houses. It is a mostly over cast night, with quite a bit of moon glow on the ground and clouds. Note that my camera is just a cheap digital jobby with an F 2.8 lens, the sight picture is very crisp and clear with the naked eye. I did my best.

Taken in almost total darkness, couldn't see down the path. Some light is leaking through from houses though, but none perceptible with the naked eye.



The following pictures were taken under a good amount of moon glow. I couldn't see Amy up the path with my eyes (they do suck though).





The fence is 15yds away I guess. Was too dark to make it out at all.



Same fence from I'm guessing 5oyds away, taken under trees. The fence was shrouded in total darkness and where I was sitting it was totally dark.



Looking at Amy under tree's.



Looking under the trees towards the foot path, about 75yds away. I could see it clearly but it didn't show up in the photo.



Looking at Amy down the end of the foot path



What you see out on the street



Most of these photos were shot with the "gain" set to half way or three quarters. Set to full in total darkness.
