    I was under the impression all the engines operated at somepoint on all three days, be it the evenings or during the day. I would think all the guests will run all 3 days.

    I'm set for 2 days at the gala and planning to get some night photography done. It'll be my first attempt at night so I was wondering what shutter-speed, aperature etc, people use in order to get some good night shots?

    Thanks,
    Lewis

    If you have a working member's pass then your travel is free. If you are buying tickets for other visitors who are not members/shareholders/working members then there is no discount for them.
