It’s a Time For Some Holiday Magic!

The Holidays have arrived! I love photographing decorations, mine, other people’s, indoors, and out. I don’t consider myself a professional photographer as what I do with most of my photographs is manipulate them into digital art works. But the ones I leave as “pure” unenhanced ones are the record of my life! I have hundreds of these, old ones before digital cameras and digital ones since 2007 I bought my camera.
Sometimes a photograph is touched by a bit of magic. The image of the candle at left “Joy to the World” is one. My professional photographer friends always told me that capturing a burning candle is next to impossible. So one day, I just turned out all the lights, aimed and clicked. No fooling with settings etc. And that shot is the amazing result!
So spend some time capturing magic. Don’t try, just aim and shoot! Let it happen…May your holidays be joyous and filled with magic.
