I have a neighbor that does his house up real nice every year with lights and inflatables, what is the best way to shoot this a night?

Type "christmas lights" in search-- there have been several recent posts with lots of good info.
Basically you arrive on the scene before sunset, set your camera for "tungsten" (that's what incandescent light bulbs use for a filament), affix your camera on a tripod, get your neighbor to turn on his or her display early, wait for the sun to start going down, and then shoot-shoot-shoot while its still light enough to see the scene but dark enough to see the lights. If you wait until the sun completely sets, you will get the old pinpoints-of-light-in-a-cave shot.

I've found that shooting inflatables with a .22 does the
job quite well. (Kidding, of course!)

Any suggestions for shooting the same lights using B&W film?
