I put the camera on a tripod and zoomed after pressing the shutter to get our Xmas lights to streak.

We put up Xmas stuff today. Or, more accurately, Marci and the kids did while I was at work.

Anyway, I closed down the aperture to make sure the shutter would be open a bit longer, then moved the camera. The ones with longer exposures were busier, but I liked this shorter one. The lights look like neon chilis.

This is our Xmas tree. I shot it with a style called "freelensing" where I detached the lens from the camera, held it at a slight angle, and clicked away.

Maybe not the best for the equipment, but it can lead to some nifty effects.
