So here I am a week away from finals and close to going insane. But, within another week winter break and Christmas will be upon us, along with a well deserved break, so I thought it only fitting to include a little holiday cheer in the blog this week. This was edited using my old and limited version of Elements 4 (hopefully CS3 will be in my near future) so it's not really that great. I've wanted to do some ornament shots for a long time actually, but for some reason I never set up a tripod next to my Christmas tree at home. For the last couple of years we have had a full sized tree in our room here at Clark so I took some time a couple nights ago to take this. I think it would be really cool to get the lights just right so they illuminate the curves and edges of the decoration. I will definitely be trying this again very soon. Also, I am really happy with how my camera is performing. Whereas the D50 only went to ISO 1600 (and took VERY noisy pictures at that) this is ISO 2500 on the new D90 and there is nearly no noise. I have tried the 3200 setting and that seemed nearly perfect too. I can't wait to return to this soon.

i really love the reflection of that waffle ceiling in the ornament.
this image makes me want to take pictures of ornaments too! The idea of an ornament picture in general is fun but that reflection really makes the image
