Has anyone been yet this year? Is there any time that is less crowded to go?
We went last year for the first time and the kids loved it and I got some great photos, but it was crowded.

My wife and I went last week, and it was great! It's amazing how they can do that.

Great photo! How crowded was it? I may bring the kids tomorrow, Sunday.

I haven't been before... can I assume the 24-70mm would be appropriate for this display? Should I bring something faster like a 50mm f/1.4? Maybe just bring a flash?... but I hate that idea unless it's for effect.

Terry and I have gone the last two years. We found that weekdays an hour before they close seems like a good time. Faster glass and no flash works. With it being ice reflections can be a problem. Sometimes it is no problem.

I am not sure that time would work with the kids, but I will figure something out. If it was not so far away I would go on a weekday morning when the kids are in school, but it is a long drive. Maybe I can get in before people get out of church Sunday morning. Thanks for all the tips!

I used a 24-70 and an SB800 flash. The flash is mostly for fill. It's very cold in there, but they provide parkas.

We're going to try to go again since its been 2 years since the last time.

I'm going tomorrow morning. Hopefully miss the throngs of school kids.

Going to take the 24-105 f4 IS and shoot the 7D at a higher ISO.
