It was on this day eight years ago\u2014September 8, 2015\u2014that my Irish friends and I traveled up the Rhein by train to Mainz, Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a useful photo tip; to allow the LED signs to appear clearly in photos, set the shutter speed to 1\/60th or less, and time your shutter release so that the sign is showing just one sequence at time (in a situation where the sign may be scrolling). Note that in the above photo that the sign is mid-scroll, but on the top photos the sign is easy to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
