Since it gets so dark so early in Edinburgh in the winter (just like Poznań) and since I brought my Nikon D300 with me this time, I took a few opportunities to try some night photos from up and down the Royal Mile, which is the street my hotel is on.
I didn't bring a tripod with me, so all the shots were hand-held. I knew this would result in high failure rate, but I got a few pictures that I think are OK after a bit of tweaking. At least I have confidence that the lens I took and my camera give the option for some decent night shots if take more time, a tripod, and probably some neutral density and polarizing filters with me.
Anyway, here are the pictures. Enjoy and feel free to provide comments if you like. As always, click on the image to see it in the size I uploaded it. Thanks

| This was the most difficult image to take. The hill and building were lit from below and required very long exposures. |

| This building is a school now I think. I liked the way it was lit up when looked at from the side. |

| This is St. Giles Cathedral. I tried over a dozen pictures of this at night and this was the only one that turned out OK. |
