That's an interesting idea, though I don't know that I'd have the
patience to wait it out. I forget if there were cameras, but I do
definitely remember two weird bobbing lights that looked as if there
were lanterns hanging from the boat in front of us -- and it took me
until about halfway through the ride to realise that they were the
glowing screens from people's camcorders..

Yeah, I'm sure I could have taken less grainy photos with "better"
colour if I'd used flash, but I wanted to see how far I could push my
luck without it -- it's not a well-lit ride, after all, most of the
atmosphere comes from the dim lighting, so that was what I was trying to
reproduce in the shots. The problem is that what I really need is
ISO12800 film or IS, and even IS only goes so far given that I'm sitting
in a moving boat.
