Shooting again at night, I really enjoyed this spot in St Paul. I have seen day shots of Mickey’s also and they are equally as nice the color in the day of the diner is fantastic. Parking in the evening is easy on street if no events are going on, otherwise it can be tough.

The city of Edina offers many good photo ops. I particularly like it at dusk or shortly after many retailers have nice neon and other attractive light and window displays.

50th avenue runs east and West France ave runs North and South

Hopkins

Downtown Hopkins has a lot of photo ops, and is active in arts, it also is desirable for its mix of new and old buildings.
Main street runs east and west so most buildings face North or South.

At night in the rain

Shooting at night, is both challenging and addicting. This theater sits at 694 and 252 in Brooklyn Park, MN . I first thought it would make a good sunset shot, and it still will seeing as how it faces the East and you would have the sun set behind the building, Just at this time of year May into June I haven't seen the lights come on the building until the sun has set so it will be one to try around fall when they set the clocks behind.
