light blur :: photography

how do you photograph your christmas tree?

i know someone special who just got a new camera and i'm sure would like a few tips. blurred lights seem to be everywhere these days. it's the hot design element in print & video. here's the diy.

• set your camera to the aperture priority mode (av)
• lower the f-stop denominator (f/1.8 or f/3.5)
• use manual focus until the lights are blurred
