It is all well and good to enjoy Christmas decorations during the day, but really they are meant to be seen at night. Bringing light and joy to a world that gets dark way too soon.
I walked the nieghborhood with my camera, snapping away, trying to figure out how to capture the lights without a flash.
One house has a row of these, this is what they look like during the day as well as at night.
Technology moves on, they switch to this as well as blue and green.
There are the decorations that don’t light up, but sparkle in the moonlight.
Colored lights on a fence.
As well as ones with the old fashioned bulbs.
This yard is full of lights and decorations, from the train
To the reindeer.
As well as swag on the fence. This is the same house that had the bats during Halloween.
The next door neighbors have young boys, so along with traditional lights, a minion peeks through.
I love how lights will frame a porch or roofline. I was playing with my photo editing program, Picmonkey, they have a filter called Bokeh that is supposed to highlight the lights. Well the lights looked like this without any filters, but I did add the stars.
Love the internet, I found instructions on how to get the Bokeh affect with my camera, and here we have it with the few lights I have on my own porch. I love learning new techniques and will probably play with this one a little more.
A merry Christmas to all.
