This is what the full house looked like:

150:365 This is my effort to impose shapes on bokeh light as described here. I still need some practice but with any luck you're all seeing stars where none exist in reality.
151:365 This wasn't the best shot I took on Christmas morning but it managed to capture everything that was magical about the day for us.
I got a new lens for Christmas: a 75-300mm. Zoom zoom. While I like this shot a lot, it's the next one that makes it as the shot of the day. Note the lack of snow. There's foreshadowing here.

Well, Happy New Year, one and all. Next week's prompt: resolution.
Great photos! I was hoping to see the one of L and M traipsing through the tunnel of snowy trees here somewhere.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry your travel plans were canceled. :(
Movie recommendation for your theatrical family: "The King's Speech".

I tried to leave a comment earlier, but seem to have ineptly navigated away from the screen before it posted.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, I love the photos. I'm always a sucker for Christmas lights.
Plus I'm really fascinated by the shaped bokeh business. Nice job with it! I did indeed see stars. (And I'm pretty sure nobody bonked me on the head.) I'm going to have to try this some time. (The bokey business, not bonking myself on the head...)
I'm also sorry to hear that your holiday plans gotted messed with. Pesky snow!
i read about that bokeh thing and totally meant to do it at Xmas time and forgot Damn, and took the tree down yesterday (usually wait until 1/6, but the thing was dropping needles faster than Charlie Brown's tree). yours turned out very cool.
