When I drive home at night I pass a ferris wheel that is all lit up, and often spinning. Every time I go past I think that I need to use it in a photo.
Last night I came up with the idea of silohetting a person or couple against it, either unlit so that they are dark, or possibly with a flash. At noon, I was reading light science and magic about photographing glass and they were talking about having a dark background that has light around the frame. It occurred to me that if I could have the ferris wheel in the background, with someone sillohuetted in front of it and something like a wineglass with the ferris wheel providing colored edge lighting, it might make a fun photo. Or it might end up in an epic, but educational, fail. Maybe if I ask for advice now, my next post on the subject will be "how can I do this better" rather than "why was it a total failure". -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.
