Downtown Holiday Lights

Last night I braved the cold Colorado weather and met up with other members of the Denver Digital Photography meet-up group. Our goal was to get some night shots of Denver's holiday lights. There were about 40 of us but we ended up breaking ourselves in smaller crews before scouting out the perfect spots to shoot.

A friend of mine works at the Denver Post and we were able to sweet talk the security guard into letting us up to the balcony on the 10th floor. We got some great pictures.

We later made our way right up to the front of the Civic Center.

Tips for night shooting:
Slower shutter speed
Large aperture
Tripod
Remote/or Timer

Denver Civic Center



Denver Art Museum


Random Building just right of the Civic center

Denver Capitol Building
Nativity setup and Santa in front of the Civic Center
