Working the scene

As I mentioned last week, one of the things I've been trying to do a bit more of is to work the scene a bit more.  Last week, I posted the most obvious picture of the Xmas decorations - namely, a full frontal pic of the decorations.

One of the other pics I managed to get was a picture from a bit further away with the big Xmas decoration in the background.

As you can tell from the picture, these were all taken at night.  As a result, I had fully opened the aperture on my camera.  In one respect, this was great as the bokeh effect on the lights came out pretty nice.  However, the downside is that the big Xmas decoration is a bit more blurry than I would have liked.  Still, overall, I quite like this pic.

Merry Xmas?

Been offline a bit longer than expected but it is finally time to post some xmas pics.  Better late than never right?

Over Xmas, I was out one night taking pics of some of the xmas celebrations.  One of the things I've been trying to do better with my photography is to work the scene a bit more.  In that vein, I managed to get several photos from the same plaza.  This first one is probably the most obvious pic and is a full frontal of the decorations.
