    Cameras are pretty good at taking in light and giving a false representation of how you’d experience it if you were actually there. You see it at televised sporting events where it looks like twilight but they have to tell the viewers at home that it’s full dark there. I’d imagine at 10pm, his web cam was just doing a much better job seeing than a human eye could.

      I live just across the Canadian border (below just above the 45th parallel) and it’s pretty bright at 10PM here also (that is around the summer solstice of course). So while the camera/software might have been boosting brightness, the difference in latitude still seems to make a big difference!
