{Christmas photography}

I'm sure everyone took at least 1,000 pictures this Christmas right? :-) I know I did! My parents Christmas tree proved the perfect time to practice a great photography tip from Click It Up A Notch.com.

Check out the the blog post from Courtney {here} at her blog. It's called How to Create Beams of Christmas Lights. I loved the effect it gave and did it several times with different settings to see which I liked best. My family all voted on this one:

It takes some practice to get everything just right but the effect is gorgeous. The thing that I love the most about this effect is that the "perfect shot" is just up to your opinion. I loved this one as well:

This one is super bright but it makes me wonder how bright the star must have shone that was announcing Jesus' birth. It must have been a sight to behold. 

The next one is also a favorite of mine, it is just a regular photo of their Christmas tree. So pretty and amazing.

Christmas is always a wondrous time of year for me, it makes me appreciate that my Savior was born to die for me. What a beautiful gift to the world God gave us.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures and don't forget to check out the blog post above on how to achieve this effect.
