it makes no sense in comparing RL with camera shots. For starters, eye works the same for everybody (more or less), whilst the quality of camera sensors varies dramatically. On top of that, the perception of light, especially during night is not the same for eye and camera lens and sensors. I wouldn't bet all my money on RL shots, rather on observation. Few years ago I had difficulties proving that bullets don't wiggle, that they appear so only on camera shots due to shaking and aperture settings of the camera. There were many who didn't believe me, although I shot considerable amount of 12.7mm rounds from the guns mounted on the aircraft :)
