Lights ~ experimenting with my camera

Our photo treasure hunt theme for the week was lights. I had hoped to get more photos, but I'm still learning how to compose good shots of lights and much of what I took is not worthy of posting. I've learned a lot, though, so that's something!

Here's a shot of our Christmas tree I got by playing with the different settings. 

And these are some of my favorite lights in our neighborhood.

Here's a different perspective of lights....out of focus, but pretty cool looking.

Finally, a couple shots I took and posted to instagram using a string of lights to enhance the photos.

Like I said before, I'm pushing the envelope in terms of creativity and it feels good. It's fun to try new things and learn along the way!
