This is my first attempt at photographing Christmas lights. I set my camera on the indoor setting and the photo was taken between 5:45 and 6:15 p.m.

Love the warm glow, you got. Looks good.

Beautiful, but Christmas doesn't really count when palm trees are involved...

What a lovely shot. The photo is beautiful - great job!

Beautiful glow and the sky color adds to the warm ambiance.

Very Nice !TNWaltzKnow if you can just add some "snow"..... just kidding

Well Done!

I love it too! I love the contrast of the warm light and the blue sky.

Very nicely done, did you have to use a tripod?
I will try your technique...

Yes, I used a tripod. This was really an experiment and I had fun just seeing if I could do it. I opened the photo in camera raw and it made a huge difference in the overall picture. I am planning a community calendar for next year and will use this photo as my December, 2008 calendar picture. Thanks to everyone who responded. As it relates to snow: I don't think it's possible ... except in Elements or Photoshop. Hey, now that's an idea!
