Digital Holiday Lights

Mark Goldstein | Technique | December 18, 2003 | 2 Comments

About.com Photography editor Peter Marshall has published an in-depth guide to taking pictures of Christmas Lights with a digital camera. He explains 3 techniques that you can use - long exposures, combining exposures and flash.

“Larger public displays, floodlit buildings and the like are often easier to photograph than smaller and simpler ones, not least because there is more light. The problem with many small displays is really that the overall lighting is often very low.”
