The camera never lies, but it can only report what it sees.  
This is what the camera, left to its own devices, thought it was seeing (and, truth be told, this isn't that far off the mark):

This is what, after some friendly persusasion, I convinced it it should be seeing:

No wonder the poor thing was getting confused. To the eye, actual lighting conditions were probably somewhere in between the two. And, in hindsight, I shouldn't really be surprised at how difficult it was to get good shots from the other side of the river an hour later when it was fully dark.

Really? That was just meant as something of a comparison shot, without any corrections. Hopefully I'll get time later tonight to actually put up some of the ones I think worked out.

I've often been (pleasantly) shocked at what the camera can produce in certain lights. The trick I've found is how to capture what *you* saw, regardless of what was there or what the camera was getting left to its own devices...
