[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another installment in my Christmas lights collection (an area where I'm continuing to work on technique) this one first caught my eyes because of the tree lights. On closer look, however, I found a fun surprise peering out through those glass panes.

Actual exposure time was 16 seconds, and my aperture here helped me capture enough detail for this depth, since I was shooting from the sidewalk. PP was cropping, sizing, sharpening, and modest levels and contrast corrections to help bring up that face that's looking out at us.

That one sure worked out well Jim.....I have such a hard time getting night shots...it has always been that way with one exception which was on slide film and back in 1972....and everything hence has been a mystery... so cheers to you!
