What to Know

  • LEDs enable dynamic sequences and precise color palettes.
  • Themes mark holidays, events, and moments of remembrance.
  • Classic white = timeless; color cycles = celebration.

Color Notes (Examples)

Color/Pattern Typical Meaning
All‑white Classic NYC skyline mode
Red/Green Holidays/seasonal
Blue/White City/team/civic tributes
Rainbow Pride and inclusive celebrations

Vantage Points

  • 34th Street & 5th Avenue (near base).
  • Bryant Park / 42nd Street sightlines.
  • Rooftop bars with Midtown angles.
  • Long lens from the Hudson/Queens waterfront for compression.

Photo Tips

  • For crisp shots, steady against a wall and lower ISO.
  • Expose for the lighted crown; let the city fall a half‑stop dark.
  • Shoot a short burst to avoid motion blur.

Bottom Line

The lights are NYC’s mood ring — check the theme, find your angle, and catch the glow.
