You’re very talented! That looks like a neat place for a summer evening stroll.

Great set of pics.

Thanks for posting these photos.

It looks as if some of the fountains were dynamic and moved the water jets around. With the colorful lighting, it must be special to behold.

Did you rely on the camera's auto-exposure? Center-weighted?

I always wonder, because in ancient times, I used (and still use) an assortment of light meters, from wide angle to spot meter. (for the old film cameras).

I remember very long ago taking pictures of the Christmas lights on the Boston Common. No meter would handle that, so I used either the Kodak Master Photoguide, or "Adventures in Existing Light Photography". From my photographic museum. I try to keep that little museum small, but it has some cool memories.

Of course, things are easier nowadays. I don't argue with • Easy or • Successful.

I used what is called flexible-priority mode, which allows me to begin with auto settings for shutter speed, aperture and ISO and then adjust them manually to my liking.

For most of the shots the auto-focus was set to 'whole area' but I used 'expand area', expanded from center focus, for the penultimate shot.

The first 35mm film cameras I used had a built-in light meter but there were no automatic settings. I'm not nostalgic for the days when everything had to be done manually, although there are things I miss about my old film cameras--the sound and tactile sensation of advancing the film lever, loading and rewinding film, and opening and closing the back panel.

I especially like the architecture because the fountains are more dramatic with that background.
The color added is a delightful touch.

Thank you so much for sharing.

that first picture (no surprise there) and I thought “That could be Longwood Gardens.”
My dad took us there several times on family outings. One was to see the fountain show after sunset, around 70-75 years ago. Magical!
Thanks for stirring the memories.

The fountains are now lighted with multicolored LEDs. Some of the outer fountains' jets can shoot gas flames (see photo I added, above) and the main fountain's jets move to create arcs and other patterns. The lights and jets are programmed by fountain choreographers to produce spectacular shows that are in synch with the featured music.

What a place!

I have heard of this place but never saw any pictures, that I know of.

most recently in April.

Thanks!

Okay, I have seen it in pictures!

What a treat for the senses. Gorgeous, breathtaking, astonishing, etc. You get the idea.

You live in such a beautiful location. I almost can't stand how much beauty you're surrounded by.

Wow.
