Christmas!

As part of my goal of having a cheap but happy Christmas I went to the tree lighting party in town last night. Tons of photos as you might expect but not all that many of the actual lights. Too crowded. I'll go back and get more some night when there isn't a party going on. There were fireworks however. It was a very cold night and I wasn't dressed for it. Since I had the camera set up for the fireworks on a tripod and then they delayed the fireworks I spent way too long standing still in the cold and could hardly walk to my car after!

Wow, the fireworks ones were ahhhhmazing!

As someone who lives in a place with four seasons, it always takes me back when I see Christmas decorations and....palm trees! LOL!

How cold is it there? Right now, we have temps of 11°F.

Those pictures are so beautiful. I continue to be amazed at the artistry of fireworks.

Beautiful! Love the fireworks... amazing how close up some of those shots are. Are you submitting any of these for the stock photos you were talking about a while back?

Your fireworks photos are billiant! They're better than most I've ever seen in any magazine display.

There are palm trees with the Christmas decorations. That just looks so bizarrely pretty.

The fireworks look amazing. I'm thinking they were probably worth being cold for a while.

Your pictures of the fireworks are great.
Don't palm trees look beautiful when they are decorated for Christmas?

Gorgeous pics. Tell me again what kind of camera you have - digital SLR? Special lenses?

I gave up my SLR for the ease and portability of a Canon Powershot S80. It is an excellent camera and does have a manual override, but I haven't played with the controls at all. Physical and concommitant mental acuity problems, prevent me from experimenting. Photography has been my hobby since the 1960s, but I haven't evolved any in the past couple decades!

I want to learn PhotoShop Elements (which I bought and installed) and even bought a "Dummies" book, but my powers of concentration and focus have really been fucked (sorry) by pain AND pain meds the past couple years. Or maybe that is a cop out.

Love your photos, please continue to share!
