Holiday Lights

It is the time of year when houses are outlined in colored lights and front lawns become gathering spots for glowing snowmen, reindeer and Santas. This really IS a photo of a house with especially colorful holiday lights. While not a realistic image, it has the same festive spirit as would a literal view. I set my camera on a low ISO equivalent of 50 and turned off the flash. As I pressed down on the shutter, I quickly twirled the camera while aiming at the lights. Because the shutter was open for a relatively long time, it captured long swirling streams of color. Try printing up abstract images like this. They are great to cut up for collage.
