And Let The Wild Rumpus Begin

The Christmas Lights Are On (Canon EOS 5D Mark II, 17-35mm lens at 20mm, ISO 800, 5sec at f/`10, Fill-flash with Diffuser)

It is the Firest of December and as is our usual tradition the window lights and Yuletide wreath go up to start the seasonal festivities.  I had hoped for a clear starry night to try and get a really long exposure of the lights with the stars shining above the house but no such luck tonight.  This was a delicate balance between having a long enough exposure to capture the lights with a little bit of fill-flash to get some of the detail of the house as well, but not too bright either.  I think this worked reasonably well.  Next weekend it will be the turn of the tree - happy days.
