Frequently Asked Questions

How can we capture better family photos at lights in Bornheim without a tripod?

Use a nearby railing for stability, lock focus on a face, and nudge exposure down slightly to preserve color. Shoot a burst of 3–5 frames and pick the sharpest later.

What's a simple post-lights warm-up routine that works in Bornheim?

End near an indoor spot for cocoa or tea, change damp socks if needed, and review photos while warming up. Keep the final leg short so kids don't crash on the way back.

What's a good plan for multi-generational groups seeing lights in Bornheim?

Pick a route with benches or rest spots every 10–15 minutes. Combine a short walk-through for photo ops with a drive-through so everyone participates without overdoing the walking.
