Angel glow......



I think it is the exhaustion, but I am trying to explore and learn about all the settings on my camera that I bought this summer.  I used the fireworks setting for this and it creates a nice effect and shuts the flash down.  I will keep exploring now that I see I even have a snow setting that I haven't been using.  I maybe got a concussion or something as I am going to go read the manual and figure out the camera that I own.




This is my try with the tree, using the fireworks setting.  I promise to not take anymore Christmas pictures now. This will be the last.

Dear Larry,

Your tree is beautiful!!! Glogirly is LOLing at your comment about the camera manual! Gloman is very much an anti-manual guy. But the camera manual seems to be a big exception. I think he should just get a simpler camera. He disagrees.

We hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. Thank you for being our special blogging friend.

love,
Glogirly and Katie

Nice shots, manuals are nice to have but experimenting is also a fun way to learn. But my best friend when shooting at night is my tripod..:-)

Hope Santa was good to you and yours.

Glowing lights make these photos dreamy and beautiful. Reading the manual helps me to take good quality photos. Experimenting gives us unique photos. I have taken some festival photos using these settings resulting in some interesting results.
