The sun was making a faint appearance but the curtains were not yet drawn. It had been raining overnight and the sky remained full of cloud. I did not switch on the electric light.
I chose the Nikon D2Xs because it was to hand. Its capability in low light is not good; most commentators recommend not using it beyond 400 ISO. But that was not an option even with a fast f/1.4 lens wide open, so I elevated the ISO to its maximum of 3200 (this is an old camera).
I remember white balance was hard to get right. In post processing I noticed the dreadful grain and made it a bit more dreadful for effect. Right from the moment I had a serious camera I was fascinated by low light. Just being able to get an image in the dark seems amazing to me.
