Clearing Before Dawn

Clearing up the snow that is. Carol had to play at an 8 am Mass, so I had the snowblower out Sunday morning before first light to clear up 4 inches of wet, clingy snow from the walk and drive. I finished just as the sky to the east was beginning to lighten, and had to try this hand-held twilight mode shot with the new Sony NEX 3NL. It takes 6 images and then processes them down into one with less blur and less noise than a single hand-held shot could manage in this light. I have had similar modes on other cameras. Some work well, and some do not. It looks like the NEX implementation is one of the good ones.

24mm equivalent field of view. f3.5 at a nominal ISO of 6400. Processed in Snapseed on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014.
