Christmas Greenhouse

previous / next

Aren't they beautiful? This is a greenhouse at Peddler's Village. It is connected to a really beautiful gift shop with some of the most amazingly beautiful home decor items I have ever seen. I saw so many things I wanted to buy there. I dropped a few hints to Mark while we were there. I also got a few ideas for gifts to give.

Whenever I see a greenhouse filled with Poinsettias I think of Frosty the Snowman and how he melted in one when he took Karen in to get warm and the evil Professor Hinkle slammed the door on them locking them inside. I always cried when I saw that as a little girl.

NIKON D700
Nikkor 28-70mm f2.8
1/100 second
F/2.8
ISO 2800
52 mm

This photo of the Bucknell Football field is a 2 page feature photo in the Fall 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

This photo of the Bucknell Quad is a 2 page feature photo in the Summer 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers. I have also changed the title of Parallel Universe to Capture This Photography 2.

Check out my other Photoblog portfolio/archives:

Like Siam said, I can't believe how good the D700 is on such high ISO, impressive!

A beautiful Christmas capture. This store sure looks nice!

OMG - this is SO beautiful! I am jealous - we have nothing like this (that I am aware of) and I love greenhouses. Gorgeous seasonal photo!

This is a spectacular greenhouse even if it were empty. Loaded with Poinsettias makes it doubly attractive. I can image the good things in the gift shop. A fine image today!

What a great idea, it's very beautiful !! The lights are magical, and the poinsettias (also known as Star Christmas) are very amazing....

Cool....on first sight a simple picture but how the color of the flowers come alive in a more 'black' and 'dark' setting is great. Contrast does well.

Wonderful available light shot! That green house would look really good sitting in my yard

This is such a beautiful Christmasy image! And I know what you mean about Frosty!

I am the same with the Wizard of Oz...that movie still gives me the willies.

Beautiful seasonal capture. Processing is top notch. Could you have extracted some detail in the bushes in front of the window?

Lovely composition and colors but i think what makes it great is the unbelievable low amount of noise at ISO 2800.

Looking at your photos i'm thrilled with the possibilities. Can't wait to start shooting with my new D700, which btw i got just yesterday. :)

AMAZING FOTO. The atmosphere of welcoming the Christmas fun. I also have started to install a Christmas tree at home. But Christmas in our place no snow, but the rain. Regards From Yogyakarta City, Indonesia.

Don't know how I found your site, probably following a link to a page with another link to another page ... but I'm glad I did. Very nice photography.

It is amazing how little noise the D700 makes even at iso 2800, you have really kept it bright and colorful!
