Pointsettia Wreath by canadian ann

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Taken at a lighting display called 'Bright Nights' held in a park in Edmonton's river valley, as a charity fundraiser. There is a $10 per car load charge to drive through the park and enjoy the display. These 'candles' are several stories high.

Photo taken auto focus, handheld, by standing up through the cars sunroof and bracing the camera against the roof while all 3 kids argued and bounced around in the back seat. Next time I will sit in the back behind the driver as almost all of the displays were on that side.

Sony DSC-F707
F2.3, 1/30 second exposure, ISO 320 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Also, I like your picture of wreath much better than mine. You took it from a good angle. Nice job. Steve

Ann, I just got home from Bright Nights in Springfield, MA where I saw the same wreath and candles. I am about to post a picture of one of the other displays from Springfield's presentation. Steve
