Challenge.
I got a job to photograph Belmars's Holiday Lights.
Solution.
The firsts thing I did was check out the area before the shoot date. Two streets and the area around a ice skating rink had the best decorations. It was a nice day when I went back for the shoot. Knowing that real nice pictures are available right after sunset, I got there an hour early, took a few pictures and then set up my gear. Right after sunset the sky turned a light purple, just before the decorations came on. To get everything in focus, I used a f/stop of 16. This shoot went real well.
