This nice picture was taken in the evening sun at the IADIS conference Computer Graphics, Visualization, Computer Vision and Image Processing (CGVCVIP) 2009, Carvoeiro, Portugal, where I presented a talk about how to improve the accuracy of position detection of point light sources on digital images. I used a street light in the foreground to obtain better contrast by shadowing Sun.
