Last nights display of lights at Hidden Lake Gardens was a photographers dream. I could have easily spent the night in the Gardens. I’ve always loved this fountain in the Conservatory, so the fountain at night with candles was the highlight of my night. I laid down on the floor to take this photo. I’m not a “photographer” so to speak. I take pictures. And sometimes I do unusual things to get the shots I like. Since I didn’t have a tripod with me I placed my camera on bricks to steady the camera for a long exposure. I like to keep it simple and frequently use signs, rocks, fences or trees to steady my camera for night shots. Anyway, I want to thank all the HLG volunteers for all the effort they put into their Evening of Lights. It was incredible!
