Light em up

Light em up



Photo collage of my daughters home outside, and I tried to also get closeups of the snowman needlepoint ornaments my sister made for the Tree this year.

Every year I try to capture the "glowing and glistening" of the Lights at Christmas...some years I am more successful than others. I dont use a Tripod which I guess is a must have and I dont always follow all of the many tips I have found from websites online. I did do some "enhancing" on the photos in my layout using the tools in my Microsoft Digital Image software program. I mainly used the Touch Up menu options of Exposure and Lighting on them.

for what its worth here are some links for you to try:
