Bellevue Botanical Gardens Christmas Lights
We went on the last night for this year – but keep an eye out next season. The Bellevue Botanical Garden in lights is a display not to be missed! It was a mild night, and surprisingly crowed – something I didn’t expect. I brought my tripod thinking I’d have plenty of room to set it up ….. not!
But I did manage to find places where I could setup the tripod out of harms way. The problem, there was never a time or place that wasn’t jam packed with people.
The solution; include them in the photograph. I took a series of long exposures aimed more at the wandering crowd and less at the lights. I think this one is my favorite. I love how you see the motion of people moving – and one person lingering to get a closer look at a display.
There are wheelchair ramps – but the tour was as much on dirt trails as on the main paved path, so wheelchair photographers may not have access to the whole display.
