Field tips
You can create a sense of symmetry by aligning yourself with the "O" in "Fox" — putting you right in the middle of entrance.
Try to use a wide-angle lens (24mm) to fit the entire sign into your frame.
Wait for cars to drive by and experiment with light trails! The colors of the light trails will complement the vibrancy of the theatre's neon sign.
