I've
been so spoiled to be able to photograph the Christmas lights on Temple
Square every year!! Nothing quite compares to that experience! Since I
couldn't go this year, my heart hasn't been in shooting the lights, but
I talked myself into going to the Red Hills Desert Gardens tonight
anyway. I always try to look for new compositions or different
perspectives than common scenes one usually sees or that I've
photographed numerous times. Here's the best I came up with. P.S.
Here's a hint for shooting Christmas lights. Shoot during twilight or
the blue hour. Many times lights are photographed looking up and when
it is dark you end up with a boring black sky. (Unless you do something
fancy like combine photos and replace the sky with a Milky Way photo.)
But if you go just after the Christmas lights come on while there is
still color in the sky, you will have a more colorful and interesting
composition.
