Having another day at home gave me the chance to do three of my favorite things: watch Elf, bake & take some random pictures. OH wait... four things. I also made a lovely pot of coffee in my french press made from freshly ground starbucks. aaaah, lovely day, no?
I took a bunch of pictures, so I'll keep the narrative brief. The pumpkin muffins reminded me of little acorns, and I am pretty happy with the depth of field, too. The angels, frosty, mr & mrs. claus and the happiest ornament ever are pretty old (antiques, maybe?). My mom painted frosty & the ornament when I was a baby. I can tell by their happy eyes... she always paints such happy eyes! (plus, she signed them... frosty was made in '76 and the happiest ornament ever was a gift for me in 1977). The UW ornament is the only "something new" that caught my eye today. It is common for us to see decorated trees straightforward, or sometimes artistically focused on a branch. BUT I, being the weirdo that I am, wondered what a decorated tree would look like upside down.
I took all of these with my 50mm, and for the ornaments & the Mr. & Mrs. Claus I used my close up filter, too. So much fun. They were all taken in ISO 100 on a tripod (Oh, except the muffins (ISO 400, handheld) and the horizonal pic of the happiest ornament ever (ISO 200, tripod). My f-stops were all across the board... f 1.8 for Mrs. Claus, F22 for the angels. I couldn't decide whether I liked them in color or black & white, or sepia, so I posted some of the variations.
Enjoy.
Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas, filled with peace, joy & love.
