Pitch Dark Deer Photo

So anyways, I did go to Redwood Alliance the other day (for one afternoon). It's this Christian campground retreat thingy in Occidental, CA. My mom wanted to hear a speech, and I agreed to tag along mainly because I knew it was on a mountain and I guessed I could get some really nice photos there. So anyways, on the way home, I saw two deers on the side of the road. It was about 9 o'clock and it was pitch dark on the highway. I knew it was too dark to take a photo, but I decided to take a shot at it. Using my camera's built in flash, and about 10 seconds while the camera sensor tried to auto focus, I got a shot of the deer. I know the following picture doesn't look like much, keep reading. :)

Due to my camera's slowness at night, I only managed to get a picture of the deer's butt... Sadly. XD So after some touching up in Photoshop (auto adjustments). Take a look at the result!

Surprising isn't it?! That's the power of Photoshop people! :P Anyways, as you can see my built-in flash did nothing but illuminate the signs, did little for the deer. I was very surprised that Photoshop managed to restore a lot of the colors! I didn't even see that much! All I saw was almost pitch darkness! HAHA I will post the Alliance Redwood photos in a few days! :)
