Wow! That is absolutely insane. ISO 100 at what appears to be night? Did a flash not go off, or maybe it was set up for earlier in the day? Either way, that's too cool.
Yes it was at night. Dianne and I were in Turkey a few weeks ago, and this was taken while sitting on the steps of the courtyard sentry wall, inside the "Blue Mosque". the shot just prior to this was me trying to take a picture of the Crescent moon behind one of the fluted towers of the Mosque. I just plain failed to adjust the cameras settings.

Hope this isn't too dumb a question, but what's the difference in doing this via the camera, and doing it on the back end with PC software?

You mean you don't shoot in Auto mode?
The closer you can get to the actual image you have in your head re: exposure/lighting, comp etc. in the image, the LESS you need to do in post-processing. It's a HUGE timesaver to get it right the first time. And when you get really close out of the camera, you have so much more latitude for any corrections since the majority of the data is 'correct' from the image itself. When you take data that's on the fringe, you have less to work with should you want/need it. Make sense?
ETA:
And the post capabilities using software are exponentially better than what the in-camera offerings can do.

Oh, I'll start my own thread when I get one!
It'll be awhile before that happens though.
Part of the reason we spent a bit more picking up a camera for the wife (Oly E-P3) was to keep me from spending the big bucks on a DSLR
