This was  a shot I took of our tree last year (during decoration  - it wasn’t actually that bare, honest!), but I felt it illustrated nicely the festive message I wanted to convey. So, merry Christmas to you all – my apologies for not posting terribly often any more, it’s on my New Year’s resolution list!

(It’s also a shot from last year because I broke my 50mm f/1.8 back in July when I was demob happy after finding out my degree result! Buying a new one hasn’t been the top of my priority list – a brand spanking new 27″ iMac – but it’s just the kind of lens that’s perfect for low-light Christmas tree shots. Plenty of bokeh!)
