Photography–and the tree that just came down on 1/22 because of it.

I wanted to try Brokeh photography .

I guess I could have chosen a better ornament because I have no idea what that green on his belly is…
he’s a ceramic penguin with glittery on him.

I ended up liking just the auto setting with the flash off after taking the picture on a million different settings.  the base of my tripod is awkwardly wide and I had a hard time in my small living room getting my distances right.  But…this is my picture so that I could finally take my tree down!  And I’m not sure I know anything more about my Nikon D3000 after trying this…I really need to invest some more time into learning it!!

And so ends Christmas 2012 –
onto other things!!
