Downtown Houston - Evening / Night Shots

[gvaughn]

My son and I may have a chance to head to downtown Houston Saturday evening for some evening / night photography. Does anyone have particular recommendations for areas to focus on? I'm looking for areas with interesting lighting, and also looking for good spots where speedlites would come in handy.

Thanks in advance for any good tips.

Main street is always lit nicely becuase of the Metro rail. Thats all I have really explored at night but I would be interested in other spots too.

The Downtown Aquarium and Bayou Place are colorful. Almost any direction you go downtown will give you something. Try some sunset/dusk shots from the George Bush Park on Franklin across from the main post office. The trails along the bayou are colorfully lit. And as mentioned Main Street on the north end is always jumping on Saturday night. You can fill a night and still wish for more, just between Main and Bagby in the Old Market Square/City Hall area. If there is something going on at the sport venus on the east side or even the theater district always brings out activities and lights.
