Loved it...



Christmas morning that is!

They played,


and played.
And I won't forget
how much
I
enjoyed
watching them!


Christmas Eve...

once Santa came that is.


Many people have asked how to get that "glow" from the lights on the tree!
#1 Turn off your flash (no flash used on the top picture, flash used on the bottom)
#2 Place your camera on a tripod
#3 Bump up ISO, Use a slow shutter, and open up wide

top picture - ISO 800, 1/3 sec at f/2.8, no flash
bottom picture - ISO 800, 1/60 sec at f/4.0
