Oe, that's a Top Tip™. Thanks!Old and low spec is best, as modern DSLRs have inbuilt filters to cut out infrared light, which doesn’t help at all.
Cheers

I agree with you 100% best photo forum !

Interesting take... I thought it was acoustic (aka "popcorn") texture on the ceiling...

If you flip the picture upside down it gives you an illusion of a ground floor. The circular shadow looks like a room fan. But I agree with you. It has to be a texture of a ceiling. They are very popular in Las Vegas due to the cost. 🧐

Yes, it is a "popcorn" ceiling, which I have throughout the condo unit. A lot of people have remodeled and one of the first things they do is get rid of that darned "popcorn" and put a regular, smooth ceiling up instead.
Reassurance: It's not really as dark as it looks, of course! Essentially that happened as I was tinkering with contrast and shadows during editing. My attention had initially been drawn to the angles and lines I was seeing and I thought, heh, that could make an interesting B&W image!
More from the Million Dollar Highway.
20+ degrees (Celsius!) in the last week of October, but fortunately that doesn't stop the mushrooms
I look forward to driving that Million Dollar Highway one day.
Attended a Cars & Coffee in Great Falls, VA this morning and this vehicle, a 1959 Citreon 2CV, drew quite a crowd when it pulled in. In many ways the best part of this experience was talking to the French owner and his family and friends. They answered our numerous questions and in general were a delight to talk to. Of course they had that certain je ne sais quoi that marked them as French.
Learned that the Citreon 2CV and the Volkswagen Beetle had a tremendous number of things in common (designed in the 30's, a car for the common person, air-cooled engine, mass produced from the '40s to the '90s). You certainly don't see these cars in the US very often (if at all).

Tried some night photo with my iPhone 12. It was very dark, only light source was the pumkin and a light far away on the right side
My best friend is American and she moved to Ireland a few years ago. It took her until last year to see her first in her at that point 39 years on the planet. I have fond memories of these cars as my Dad drove a Beetle until I was in my early 20s and one of my best friends in school’s first car was a 2CVI look forward to driving that Million Dollar Highway one day.

Back when I first got married in 1970, we bought a beat up ID19. Loved that car, nothing rode like it. Everybody said it was ugly, it was so far ahead of it time. Unfortunately the dealer support was bad, and the car didn't survive the US climate with salt on the roads. The drivers side rear door fell off one day while my wife was driving. Undeterred, I later found a nice DS21. The headlights turned when you went around a corner. I would routinely show our friends how well it rode by driving off the road. You hardly felt the difference.
Nice example of a DS21 Pallas from the internet.
