Thanks for your explanation.[...] So I thought that You intentionally underexposed this picture (knowing You never make an exposure error ), in the believe that at 17.45 it could not be as dark as in the picture.
In low-light shooting, since I am not using the SOOC JPEGs, I don't pay too much attention to the exposure or ISO, as long as the viewfinder works. I just open the aperture and try to capture as much light as I can at the lowest shutter speed I am comfortable with. I plan to push the raw file for exposure during processing. (Grab the photons now and deal with exposure later.)
Even with the great IBIS of the OM-D's, I find my typical camera-shake keeper rate falling off as I venture below 1/30th sec, so that's where I started. As it got darker, I ventured as low as 1/5th sec, but half of those were a blurry mess. Since it was mostly wide angle shooting, I was actually pretty good down to 1/10th sec that night.
Also, my camera's clock was set incorrectly. The cell phone photo I posted was taken about the same time, and it says 18:48. Sunset that day was at 18:11 (local time).
