Some of my favorite photos

I am transferring my photos onto a external hard drive, and was viewing some of my older ones. When I first started with photography, I was shooting just about every other day. I basically did not know anything about composition, white balance, lighting, aperture...nothing! I just pointed and clicked!  

Some Christmasy Type Photos

While waiting for the first of the year, I am going to post some Christmas photos I shot recently. I upgraded my camera and was taking some test shots.

I saw an easy project to make on Pinterest, so I had to try:

That came out pretty good if I say so myself! Next, I saw some long exposure tricks for Christmas trees. So I had to try that:

Pretty cool, eh? The 1st one I shot by zooming out on a 4 sec. shutter speed. The 2nd one, I have a tree stand that turns. So I set the shutter speed to 8 sec, and shot the tree as it spun.

And this final picture is just me trying for some beautiful bokeh with my 50mm 1.8 lens.

So, there ya go! I hope you enjoyed my little experiments! Here's wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
