Holiday Fun

Last night I went to zoolights at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma, WA for a holiday outing. The place was packed since it was the first non rainy night in 3 days and almost Christmas. I had never been before. The lights were bright, the families abundant and the weather a bit chilly. A perfect combination. My preferred capture (at the moment) is to pan, blur or somehow change the standard still scene into something more. Therefore, many photos were taken while walking past bushes and bushes full of lights along the sidewalk as my camera was capturing a long exposure. The patterns and designs were fun and fascinating.  
I created this Merry Christmas sign with one of the many "on the move" photos I captured that evening. I think it would make a great Christmas card .

This photograph is also a long exposure. This time the camera was still on a tripod while the crowd walked by. You can see a small section of all the beautiful lights that took hours to prepare for us all to enjoy.

This tree was one of my favorites. It was an explosion of lights. So I tried to capture that.
Merry Christmas to All.
