As a kid, I always looked forward to decorating the Christmas tree. As adult, I still do. I enjoy seeing people’s Christmas trees. I think they are very personal and very interesting to look at. Personality and values come out in how it is decorated.

This is my aunt’s Christmas tree. I was experimenting with depth of field and really like the warm tones in the picture. I intend on taking a few more with my 40mm lens, which should come out better than this given the larger aperture.

Merry Christmas! I will be taking some time off over the holidays, so no regular posts until January. Thank you for your support this year. I wish all readers of the blog a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season, no matter what you celebrate.
