Some More Christmas Decorations

previous / next

We had a very nice time at Mark's brother's house on Christmas Day. This is a shot of one of the many beautiful Christmas decorations on the Mantle of their living room fireplace. I loved the warmth of the candle light on this little Santa doll's face. They have had this charming little figure for quite a long time.

I am almost done with the seasonal photos for this year. I love all things Christmas and I really enjoyed posting these. There will only be one or two more Holiday themed shots for this year.

Camera Settings:
NIKON D700
Nikkor 50mm f1.4
1/125 second
F/1.4
ISO 800
50 mm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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:
"Capture This Photography 2"
