Yes, of course the trick is a hundred years old
I did not apply any coloured filtering on the first picture, on the contrary, I desaturated the image, because it looked too blue to me.
The blue tint is the "natural" result of lowering the exposure.
In the second image, I applied a copper-coloured gradient filter to the image in order to obtain the kind of silvery green that I perceive in the nights when the moon is hiding behind clouds.
Further desaturation applied to second image. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Maybe my monitor isn't very good, but I had to turn the light off in the room to make out any details in either of those and then I noticed the colour casts. And I thought my monitor was a touch on the bright side! |

The latter is the only one I can make out anything in. It looks like a telephone pole, maybe? Both are really WAY dark on my monitor, and I know mine is calibrated bright. The first looks like a black box.
What was your subject? Is it possible to have less darkness? _________________ http://www.youtube.com/user/hancockDavidM |

OK, then the night trick was successful!
P.S. to calibrate your monitor, this pattern board is useful:
Ideally, you would be able to distinguish between 0% and 1% white, and 99% and 100% black.
By adjusting contrast and brightness on your monitor, you should try to get as close as possible to the goal. _________________ Orio, Administrator
