Default a little night photography

This is one of the light displays at oglebay park. Around christmas, there will be hundreds of displays all over the park. I think it's the largest light display in the world. I've seen them a million times , and never tried to photograph them. This year i think i'm going to get a few shots. It's actually kind of fun, but it takes a few tries to get the exposure just right.



This tree was lit up with a yellowish light and looked too cool at night.

I think you just inspired me to check out the lights in one of our neighborhoods which really gets into lights.


That tree is fantastic - it looks like fall is rising into the tree the way it's lit!

Excellent job, Prime. The lights in the first one are great, but the tree is something else, just perfect and great color!
