Photo Friday: Christmas Time, Is Here

I like to play with my camera.  Really, it’s the only way to learn how to do stuff with it.

There was a cool photo that I really liked, of the lights hanging in downtown Littleton.  It was done by playing with exposure times while moving the camera forward slowly.  Got me thinking.

My Christmas Tree

This isn’t anywhere near the quality of the streaky-light photo from downtown Littleton that I loved so much, but hey – it’s a start, right?

I accomplished this effect by opening up the exposure time and then slowly zooming the lens out.  Or was it in?  D’oh.
