Elmo and the Christmas train

All the presents have been unwrapped...

City Lights

Here's my first picture with my new Tokina 12-24 lens... me likie! This 30 second exposure is "as shot", no Photoshop! The orange sky is city lights reflecting off a low overcast, and the trees and bench were illuminated by triggering hand-held flash multiple times to "paint" them.

The eye

Another portrait of Benjamin, taken using an SB-600 as a remote flash.

Abstract lights

This is a 4 second exposure of tail lights taken through the windshield of the car (yes, somebody else is driving).

Christmas Trucks

These wooded toy cars and trucks were parked in front of the Christmas tree waiting for somebody to play with them.

Holidazzle parade float

This abstract image of a float in the Minneapolis Holidazzle Parade was created by rotating the camera while shooting at a slow shutter speed.

Lights, lights, get your Christmas lights here!
