My wife and daughter are out to see a play, and my son is upstairs taking a nap. The only football game on right now is the Eagles/Giants game — yawn.

I’m bored.  What to do? I know, take some pictures of the Christmas ornaments on the tree we recently put up.

These shots were taken on a tripod with my 135 f/2.0 lens. ISO 200 and a tungsten WB. The average shutter speed was about a third of a second.


Then I grabbed the nutcracker on the end table, and set him in front of the tree, put a 1/2 CTO gel on my flash and manually fired the flash at the his face while the shutter was open.

Ok, that little project is over, what can I get into now … ?
