Step into a world at night where shadows dance, colors ignite, and photo ops are born. This photography gallery from shooting at Longwood Gardens shows you how this unique travel destination in Pennsylvania transforms after sunset.

Prepare to join me and be mesmerized by the ethereal glow of illuminated fountains, the enchanting silhouettes of  trees, both tall and short, and the breathtaking reflections that shimmer on the water's surface.

This small collection of photos invites you to step into this enchanting realm and capture the magic for yourself.

Indoor Nighttime Photos

In addition to all of the outside light displays that come to life once it gets dark, there are plenty of pleasing subjects to photograph. Both of the photos below were taken in the East conservatory at Longwood.

In this first photo with the poinsettia in the foreground I turned my camera to a vertical orientation and used a wide angle lens to include the foreground and the lit up tree in the background. For the photo of the snowy tree lit in blue I needed to set my ISO very high (ISO 6400) to get a good exposure for this dimly lit holiday scene.


These night time photos of Longwood contrast remarkably with the photos I captured during the day and posted in my article titled:  Through The Lens at Longwood Gardens.
