The Holiday Edition - Week 1
This month our group has decided on a broad, yet seemingly appropriate theme. Since the holidays are upon us, we will be capturing a festival of lights over the next four weeks, allowing ourselves to be creative with our concepts and images. We have been looking forward to taking a break from the more technical study of light to using our cameras most freely to capture the season's lights both bold and bright, lovely Christmas bokeh, and perhaps an occasional miracle along the way.
My photograph for this week was taken during the first snowfall after Thanksgiving. I opened up my aperture as wide as possible and used manual focus to create a blurred, painterly effect. My hope was to add to the wintery mood of that late November day.
