Lights on the Bay: Christmas at Sandy Point State Park



On this cold/brisk weekend my girlfriend, roommate, and myself went to AAMC Lights on the Bay at Sandy Point State Park.   The light show was sponsored by the Anne Arundel Medical Center as well as numerous car dealerships.



Driving through the show was fantastic.  They had tons of displays, some with motion, and apparently they offered 3D as well although we didn't choose that option. 



Shooting in these conditions were difficult because all automatic settings weren't giving me the results I wanted.  Autofocus also wasn't doing its thing well because of the low light situations so I had to switch to old school, all manual.  I used mostly ISO 1600, shutter speed at 40, and aperture at 5.6.  Overall I liked the results, although I should have played more attention to focus on a few of the shots.

  1. I haven't gone to any light displays this season, thanks for providing shots of one, albeit online!
