Christmas pictures with the “in-laws”. I had a hard time breaking away from my 1.8 lens with a lower light setting. I didn’t want to use my flash and opted to go with a touch higher ISO at 400-800 depending on the picture. I did use my other lenses and got great pictures as well but as always, my prime lens impressed me.

Christmas is just around the corner… we put our tree up recently, had it almost fall down, and then re-anchored it in the base. I’m a stickler for trees that look mostly uniform. I’m not big on those “family style” trees… that may all change, of course, with a new little one on the way. I’ve always enjoyed the look of trees in department stores. Now I’m just a guy… I don’t really have the artsy flair for things like that… but I know what appeals to my eyes.

Here’s some tree pics….
