Nikon Wednesday 2021: #49

Note: In the interests of balancing performance and quality, the topic of image file size and dimensions as normally posted to this recurring thread is under discussion elsewhere in the Nikon forum (the topic is obvious when you look) - please check in there and comment if you have thoughts to share! That's the best place to talk about that particular topic. For now, consider keeping uploads no larger than 1600 pixels on the long side when it matters, and sticking with 1000 pixels when the image feels no pain at that resolution. On data size/compression, try to keep things under 1mb, shooting for 600kb when you can stop there. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc). Are you new to this thread? The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here: http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00W7km. For now, we're sticking with 1, 2, or 3 images per week as you see fit.​

For a mid-December Nikon Wednesday, perhaps you'll indulge me a dreamy little excursion into some table-top holiday display territory. Guess it's the arrested development little kid in me that can still get lost in the little structures, scenes, lights and atmospherics of the little fantasies that sprout up on untold numbers of credenzas, mantles, and coffee tables this time of year. I like it! Can't help myself. You can correct this moment of mine by posting something completely different. Go!
