Photography: Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or just Rest Awhile, Already!  
This is our Christmas Tree:
The Tree

It's about seven feet tall and full of ornaments we have been collecting for almost forty years. Every year I take the obligatory photos. This year, I set the Kodak P712 megazoom camera to "Candlelight" in the Scene mode and starting moving the camera; yes, moving the camera! This was the result:

Lights Three
And this:
Lights Four

Fun ensued as I broke the "always sharp" rules!

You have a facebook account? I haven't even bothered. My pics are all on flickr and I keep up this here journal. That's it. I should look and see your stuff sometimes...

Nice. Your tree is infinitely more tranditional than ours.

Merry Christmas =D

And a Merry Christmas to you! The tree is NOT, I repeat NOT my fault. My mother, my sister, and my cousin are all Christmas fanatics. Each year the decorations get a little more elaborate. All I do is follow instructions: whenever I visit a place, I look for Christmas ornaments.
