I love this time of year. The sights, sounds and smells of the seasons are so wonderful. It is a wonderful time of year to take photos. Christmas lights are perfect subjects. They don’t move, they they look incredible the longer you leave the shutter open and there are so many colors and possibilities. Shooting wide open also allows you to get some great bokeh too. There are so many options. Get out there and start shooting the lights.
For the past 3 years Allison and I have been getting our Christmas Tree from the Boy Scouts of Troop 23. A quick trip over and we picked out a nice six footer. The boys there do a very nice job and the trees are always decent ones. We’ve had some really good luck over the years. This one is another fantastic one.
