Schedule of Events
There is no planned agenda for this event. The festival will present an abundance of shooting opportunities best taken through going with the flow through the displays.
Sunset is at 5:26 so prime sky light lighting runs 5:00 PM through 6:30 PM.
Gear
Wide Angle primes to medium zooms are best served here. A light, could in some cases be helpful but not necessary.
Tripods will be a nuisance in the crowd but a monopod could be useful.
Other Tips
