This is my last image. It is not exactly what I was expecting for this image
to be but at least it is something. Perhaps a little bit dark. It has been
all modelled with Pov and Wings by Roberto Ullan and me
http://personales.ya.com/robertoullan/
For the final result I have used the Gimp. Hope you like it.

  Too dark. I can see 5 gray lines, 1 yellow line and a yellow
ellipse, and that's it.

  The sense of darkness should not be achieved by lowering your
lighting (because then you just can't see anything) but by increasing
contrast.

I'm experimenting with night/dark scenes as well. Can you give some hints
how to achieve higher contrast in a scene? Sorry for the noob question...
;-)

I think your screen  needs a higher gamma setting or maybe you could want to 
quit your sunglasses ;-)
It's often you see nothing where I see a lot of things.
But I agree it's  too dark

  Lower ambient_light in global_settings (0 would be a good start).
Use #default { finish { ... } } to try different settings for surface
finishes which brighten bright areas and darken dark areas. Look for
all the finish keywords in the documentation.

Maybe it is a bit too dark, but even so I like this scene very much. I thas 
a very realistic suburb night mood. I think that a night sky should not be 
entirely black, but just light enough to show the outlines of the buildings 
in the forefront.

The only thing that eludes me is the title, but maybe I don't see the clue 
in the dark...  :-)

ambient_lights in global_settings is for changing the global colour of the 
ambient. DON'T set it to zero if you want any glowing object (high ambient).
Use #default{finish{ambient 0 diffuse 1}}
This will set all ambient to zero unless explicitely set in the finish.

Yeh, I mean even on this 4 year old LCD (with 5307 hours of on-time so 
almost black anyway!) I can see the car, bus stop sign, telephone box, 
street lights etc.

Maybe it's also a function of the software you are using to view the images. 
I often notice that if I load an image into Paint Shop Pro it looks 
different to using Outlook.

This is because PSP has its own monitor gamma settings. Look under: file >>
preferences >> monitor gamma.
