I took the Sony Nightshot camera down to the bottom last night about 9PM or so.  It was pitch black on the ground,but there was still a little light in the sky.  I walked right down to the forest edge, and immediatley heard little sounds eminating from the brush... like there was an animal there.

Being well prepared, I took out my million watt flashlight and shone it on the surrounding bushes, and trees, saw nothing and turned it off.  The sound was momentarily stopped.

I turned on the Sony, set it to Nightshot, and saw absolutely nothing.  Blackness.  I aimed it toward the sky and received a faint outline of the trees.  such a disappointment !!! 

I took some video anyway and when I came back in, tried to brighten it in Pinnacle Studio.  Brightening it only made it pixelated,and worse than the original blackness.

I suppose the only way I can do this is to take down the static photo camera and use a flash, like the deer cam.

Frankly, I do not look forward to heading into mosquito land again.  But I will do what it takes to get the shots.   You can prove your point much better with two seperate cameras than with just one.
