I didn’t see Cleo climb inside the barbed wire tree but he needed help getting out. I think he finds it hard to believe it’s already time to pack up all the decorations so he’s staging a protest. 🙂

holiday displays with your compact
1. Look for a small quiet neighborhood light display and ideally have someone else drive.
2. Find a display you like and stop the car. (cul de sac streets are safest)
3. Set your camera to its lowest ISO and largest f/number (usually f/8 on compacts).
4. Compose your picture. Then pre focus by pressing the shutter half way down.
5. Ask your driver to start moving VERY slowly.
6. Press and HOLD the shutter button down and keep holding til you’re past the display.
7. Repeat these steps until you get something you like or until someone calls the police 🙂
These trees are white wire spiral frames. The colored areas are wire framed gift boxes.
TIP: If your image has more movement than you like, adjust your aperture to a smaller number.
dark chocolate sea salt caramels?
Chocolate, caramels and salt?! No way. Waaay!!! How could I have lived so long and not known about this mouth watering candy?! If you love chocolate and caramel, check it out BUT have someone hide them and only give you one or two. Trying to resist them is worse than trying to eat just one potato chip 🙂

swingin’ in the rain
First I set the camera to a 2 second delay, pressed the shutter and then began swinging it very slowly as I walked by a holiday light display. And…yes…it was sprinkling rain. I always giggle at every resulting shot and then force Chris to look at them all. Poor guy 🙂
shaken and stirred
A sequence of shots showing the fun you can have photographing in low light. The first image was a straight shot holding the camera as steady as I could. The rest are a result of shaking and slightly moving the camera in multiple directions. I wouldn’t say I never use a tripod but photography is so much more fun without it 🙂
