nice ! this was taken with an N82 right? are those stars i see or are those dust spots on the sensor?

Hi Roland,

It is not stars, though I wish they were, but instead the more prosaic dust on the inside of my windshield of which the flash illuminated. I thought I had the flash off, but it was not.

smiles, jen ;o)

thanks jen for revealing what goes on "behind the curtain", too bad it wasn't the stars :-) next time, perhaps with the mythical 8 megapixel nokia :-)

Hi Roland,

Even with a super duper megapixel camera on 1600 ISO, one would not have been able to get this photo with stars, as I would have had to been outside the car with the camera on a tripod and made the auto carrier truck stayed park on the freeway ramp for at least 2-5 min exposure to get the stars to show up. Sad but true.
