Great pics everyone!

I put pics of our tree and some choice ornaments in a Picasa album:

Here's the tree itself for those who don't like to click

Nice ornaments, gtown.

Finally got around to taking one of ours.

Tree, from the top of the stairs so it's a weird perspective. Also the ceiling is at an angle. The tree is 8 ft.

House. You can't see how the bottom row twinkles at odd programmable intervals. Note above tree in the window:

That's the way to confuse the neighbors.

Wow, those are really nice displays UT!

(We didn't end up getting a tree this year

)

There's still time. I bet they're about $2 at Lowes now. Or just cruise the streets -someone's probably already thrown one out by now that you could squeak a few more days out of!

Not completely, as the curtain is closed in one, but not the other, but I do have multiple shots each way.

But the night-time flash mode does do a bit of mini-HDR automatically, by exposing the background for a long time, and anything within reach of the flash for a short time, at higher intensity.

TheMercenary · 12-23-2007, 02:05 PM

why do the lights look like they only go up the middle of the tree. Interesting way to do it.

Clodfobble · 12-23-2007, 02:54 PM

Obviously it would look better at night, but now is when I have free time, so...

I just like the look. Plus, it casts a cool shadow. Plus, it leaves the branches available for ornaments, and keeps the wires invisible.
