Thought I'd share a few pics I took the other day - ok so I clicked away and took 179 (many of those didn't turn out so well as I'd not realised I'd left my SLR in manual mode after a play!)...
This one was inspired by a photo shared on the JYC forum, I had candy canes so leapt out with my camera into the snow-ice to try and take a shot... with, er, manual on by accident.
Pioneer Woman's Lovely and Ethereal action is very good for getting some nice effects on photos that were originally dark and very red (due to fairy lights).
I had the fire on last night for full effect plus countless candles...
Here's a shot of some of this year's new baubles... I love that red and white one - and it really works so nicely on the mantelpiece.
Thew mantelpiece looks quite nice and dreamy in this pic - the joy of actions!
I tried some Bokeh as per one of Shimelle's prompts - the original photo was pretty dark, but it lightened up nicely. Difficult to make out but this is another new bauble - the nativity scene in cut crystal inside the bauble...
I also tried it on my little mug of candy canes.
Here's the new nativity bauble on the tree - nestled in those silver branches.
A shot of the tree - can't get a decent full length photo - so this will have to do. ;o)
Here's another new bauble - the snowy house...
And a snowy scene on a flat bauble - it's very unusual.
And lastly - my giant Polish bauble (bought in a heat wave in August in Poland!).
I'll be using a few of these pics in my journal - speaking of, have some catching up to do tonight!
Natty your house looks absolutely Festivus!
Loving all your ideas, and that fireplace looks stunning. You must be quite happy there~!
