O.k., as Heather would say, my assignment was taking pictures of our Christmas tree. I didn't want any other light source than the Christmas tree. I used a tripod because my shutter was open for so long. I really am not thrilled with how this turned out. I am wondering if having white lights make a difference. I almost didn't post this, but figured it was part of the learning process. I took about 20 pictures and this is the only one that turned out o.k.
