Oh Christmas Tree



Focus, young man!

I remember a friend once asked me to take a picture of the tree that my boys and I had just decorated for Christmas. I muttered something about Christmas tree pictures never come out good. You just can't do them justice.

I should have said pictures of MY trees don't come out good.

I've shot a few Christmas trees so far this season. The blur above is the Christmas tree in the Great Hall of the Library of Congress' Thomas Jefferson Building. After running out of ideas. I just put my camera focus on manual and pushed it as far out of focus as possible. I was being silly at the time, but I liked it as an artsy abstract. See the photos.
