Night-time photography (or in low-light conditions) presents special challenges. For a scene to be visible on a
photograph, the camera must first be able to capture enough light to get a good image. The only perfect photo, in all lights, has been given to us by God through our eyes.  Technology has its limitations.  When the scene is dark and there are too few light sources, the photographer has three solutions: use a powerful Flash (which does not always produce an ideal light), slow down the camera (which creates blurry effects when there are movements on the scene), or use a more sensitive film (which produces more grainy effects). One of the three solutions must be chosen, which inevitably compromises quality. In some cases however, that compromise can produce interesting artistic effects.

All original full size photos are given to the Chief in charge of the scene.
Thumbnails just give you an idea of what transpired.
They also keep the server from being swamped with large files.

And tell me what it's used for.
