<p>We wouldn't let the season go by without bringing out some of the family antiques, including a decades-old table-top decorative church and the slightly odd, very skinny Santa that has always been with it. Santa looks like he could use a square meal, a cocktail, and a good night's sleep. Just like the rest of us, this time of year! A Merry Christmas to all you Nikonistas, and we'll reconvene here on the last day of the year. Shoot some, share some!</p><div></div>

<p>Very nicely atmospheric Matt. Have been re-processing some old files, this from 5 years ago and the Outer Hebrides.</p><div></div>

<p>Haukkalampi creek. The cliffs around this area give some shelter so the snow has an easier time staying on the trees.</p><div></div>

I was experimenting with slow shutter speeds and multiple exposures all based on lights on a Christmas tree. Taken last night. </p><div></div>

<p><img src="/photo/17898998" alt="" />This one is a single long exposure, I made a duplicate layer, transformed the layer horizontally and the hue color and then blended with lighter color. </p><div></div>

<p>I just love winter sunshine at this Latitude: Golden, low and soft. Like having a "golden hour" for most of the day.<br>

Caught this beautiful light this afternoon with a D700 & 50mm f/1.2 lens.</p><div></div>
