Oh Christmas Tree

We got a new pre lit Christmas tree this year.  I actually took a few minutes this evening after choir practice to take some pictures of the lights.  I love using the 50mm lens with a 1.8 aperture.  I love the bokeh effect it has on the lights.  I used to get this effect and I had no idea what I was doing.  Now I am able to get this effect on purpose.

I love this picture even though it isn't the best technically.

    I love my 50mm for the same reason. I got some great shots of rows and rows of rum balls that we made last Christmas. Will have to try and copy your technique with some lights this year.
