Is it Christmas yet?

Instead of  going with natural light I decided to get into the Christmas spirit and take some unique pictures of Christmas lights.

 So this is what I did, I took my lens off and I cut on two separate pieces of paper in the shape of a Christmas tree and of a snowflake, and taped it onto my camera, this is a easy project to create and enjoy.

 

A few things I learned along the way.

1. When you tape the tree piece of paper on you need to tape it upside down, so the tree point faces to the ground, because my first few pictures were upside down! (I'm pretty sure it has to do with the mirrors on the inside the camera, but I will have to do more research with that specifically.)
2. There is two ways to do this experiment with the lens and without. I chose without, without causes the light shapes to become bigger. (at least bigger than I expected, and harder to fit into frame) 
3. Wear gloves! for these Christmas outdoor pictures, my fingers were getting COLD, its gonna be hard to find a warm pair of finger mittens. 

 

I plan to experiment more with the Christmas lights, I would like to try and make the shapes smaller to get more of it in the frame,

although for the first time doing this project I will say my pictures turned out satisfactory.

I would like to give a shout out to my brother who took the effort to put up new Christmas lights! 

Thanks for reading! hope you enjoyed! feel free to leave comments. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
