Exclamation December Photo Assignment: Holiday

Welcome to the third monthly photo assignment! Thanks for stopping by!

I figured that since we are neck deep in the holiday season, we should try a holiday theme.

Like usual, I will start with an example. I took this just a few minutes ago.

When I think about x-mas, besides family and friends, I think trees, more specifically pine/evergreen trees. My wife ordered a fresh wreath, so that is my example.

So what do you think of when someone mentions holiday? Beaches? X-mas lights? Or something comepletely different?

I would like to discourage photo's of people though. Yes, I think of kids when holiday is mentioned, but unless you are the childs parent, of have a photo release signed by the childs parent or legal guardian, I'd say lets leave them out. Cool?

Remember, this is not a contest, your photo's will not be critiqued or ridiculed. It's just a way to get out photographing with a subject in mind.

So let's get these shots going!

That shouldn't count TJ! You didn't create that specifically for this thread! I saw it in the DIN the other day. Just kidding! I'm sure you created it with "holiday" in mind, right?

It's all good!

Hey, you do read the DIN! I better watch what I say...

Like I said, I'll do better...hmm. Maybe this one. It's from the holidays in the 1950's...my mom and dad just got this car, and it went out in the holiday card...No? Yeah. I need to work on this...

What else would I enter? This was shot last year. It's a iridescent bubble ornament, one of my favorites.
Maybe I should hand tint this shot. Like I have the time these days

Blessed Christmas Orgers!

I didn't take this photo with this particular assignment in mind. However I did shoot it Thanksgiving day. My Parents best freinds alway set this frog out at Christmas time and as a child I would play with it for hours. To me it reminds me of the Holiday season.. almost as much as a Christmas Tree.

I will of course also shoot somemore photos as the month passes and will post them as I have them.

I know what IR is, but there are some that don't. So evergreen type trees don't turn white in IR like most foliage? I guess I haven't paid THAT much attention to evergreen IR shots. Hmmmm To me it looks like a slightly over exposed B&W shot. Still, very nice!

Cool frog shot Tom! I like the contrasting colors!

When most people think of Christmas a few images pop into thier heads. Snow, That perfect pine tree etc.. well the same is true for me.

To me it doesn't get much more Christmassy (is that a word?) than this.

A sad but very real reality around here during the holiday season is deer hunting season. I found this poor lil guy swinging in someones front yard.

Great work everyone!


Here is just a small detail of our "Asian" themed tree.

(FWIW, this is the first time in MY life that I have had the strings of beads on the tree.)

Happy holidays and Merry Christmas! Enjoy time with the Family!


This is the last thing you see at warp speed when your course takes you stright into a x-mas tree. It's enough to ruin your day!
