Hi!
Hope you're getting into the Christmas Spirit and enjoying the lights & decorations on your neighbors' front lawn.
We just got ours out last weekend.  Somehow, since we don't have kids around, except the occasional
grandchild, it's hard to get too excited about hauling everything down from the garage attic----because there are
no basements down here.   In fact, I've never had the privilege of a using basement in my entire life.....well, with the
small exception of smelling the dirt while riding a tricycle around the posts at my grandparent's home in Atlanta.

As kids, we always enjoyed riding around in the car to see all the decorations lit up at night.  That was
before the days of the huge monsters which now adorn the grass thanks to the magic of an electrical blower. 
I think a lot of the gigantic blow up things are a little over the top---especially now that you can buy them for
any holiday...10 foot tall grim reapers, grinning turkeys, fat Uncle Sam wavering in the breeze....not a nice picture.....

I digress....so any way...if you find some nice lights you might want to take a picture of them.  You could use it for an
e-card.  Basically, it will look best if you use a tripod.  Low light requires a steady surface for a clear shot.
A flash will wash out the look of the lights as in the first photo above.  You want the soft glow of the lights.

PHOTIP: Take a tripod with you or something else like a chair that you can place your camera on to take
a picture without any shake or vibration.

Blessings!
