The holidays are over for me. I took my Christmas tree down a couple days ago. I guess I just grow tired of it after weeks of preparing and celebrating. But there's something I just love about Christmas lights and there are still some glowing in my neighborhood.
I feel like I had to really stretch myself for this shot today in many ways.
One, I don't have a tripod and shooting at night is not ideal under those circumstances. Two, how do you photograph Christmas lights and not create a cliche looking shot? Three, it was absolutely freezing outside and I nearly got frostbit on my shooting finger!
But this is what I came up with, and I think it's kind of pretty. I always like a little Bokeh, and it worked great for me tonight.
