An older dude I know recently gave me a Sony CyberShot F717 he said he had no need for. I still haven't figured out much about it, but I do know it takes photos in night vision, as well as regular photos, so tonight while there was a break in the rain I decided to go try something new.
I took both the new camera, and my trusty Kodak, and set out to the old switch station in my city. It's sat disused since the 60's or some shit like that, but that's not important right now.

Love those long exposures.
Thanks. That's pretty much the only thing I shoot now. I try to get out at least two or three nights a week.
I would love to do long exposures but am having trouble getting the focus right. Of course it doesn't help that I can't see for shit and have astigmatism, so manual focus is just off enough where it ruins the picture. Any advice?
Laser pointer and auto-focus
The F717 was the first infrared camera I ever owned. I loved that monster
