Hi Federico. The show was actually called “Enchanted”. It was an amazing display with great shots everywhere you looked.

Thank you, Patrick. Happy Holidays!

Thank you, Federico. The gamble house has actually told many stories, as it has been used in dozens of movies in its over 100 years of existence. It is a indeed photogenic. Even more so at night, I think.

Thank you, Rob. Very nice of you to say so. But a beginner I am. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thank you, Beaky. Not bad for an old dude wear’n glasses in the dark, right?

Thank you for your feedback, Tersha!

Thank you, Rob. I got a laugh out of your last sentence. But I would never ignore the advice of anyone on this forum.

Hello, Beth. I have been using YouTube for photography quite a bit recently. But I haven’t come across Piximperfect yet. But it’s now at the top of my search list. This tip from you is exactly why I joined LS. Thanks again.
