Obviously, if it was taken at night, you wouldn't be able to be see the sun in the middle. :bsmilie:
Sony's nightshot mode can't see so far in the dark either, about 2-3m at most, I think.

Haha, new man, thats not the sun...I used filter>Render>Lighting for that 'flare' to enhance the NVG effect. Those who wore NVG before during army shld know that there's always a brighter spot in the NVG. it's caused by the IR i think.

lol! good trick. but i just remembered that NVG devices create a lot of "grain". so look out for the grain in the pics next time.

And

The paratrooper should glow instead of the sky. They emit more heat than the sky in the dark.

maybe i shld brag i've acquire a state-of-the-art NVG that is 'noiseless'.

Haha, thanks for the advice adie..
