This video was very helpful! Thank you!

Great christmas lights video

This is useful technique.Thank you

As a teacher of photography,this video is straight to the point of how to get the best of your camera.This is a question that i always get asked at this time of the year.Congrats on your effort!To the few who felt they had to make childish comments,you're probably sitting at home in your undies and beer,sifting through your endless downloaded episodes of trash. Thankfully we can study people like you and appreciate what it is to be nice!

I like it! Thanks for your share!

Thanks for the tips! I'm taking a bunch of pictures right now!!! I found a pretty neat list of a bunch of Christmas lights...the "e-Christmas Light Tour" Check it out - http://listbums.com/ view_profile.php?uid =8

1. Tripod (steady) 2. Lowest ISO (less noise) 3. Long Exposure

I found the information useful and will try the techniques soon. Thank you.

ISO1600 Stabilizer, yum. Gl for photographing with that kind of things with that kind of camera - you'll need it!

Great tips, nevermind the old "Xmas VS Holidays" semantics debate... Especially for those of us who still use old-school reflex cameras!

I liked this! Thanks for the tips, esp. the tungsten-balanced info about the bulbs.

Bunch of anonymous assholes on this site. Cool video, I learned a couple things.

If I have to sit through one more christmas versus holidays discussion, Im going to staple santa to muhammed. have a little tolerance people. not everyone is christian. HOLIDAY is a fine word.

Good one!

Wouldn't it be even better to use a tripod and a longer exposure than to set it to ISO800?

I have no problems with saying "happy holidays" to random people, but for pete's sake, they are CHRISTMAS lights, not "Holiday Lights" as he refers to them. When I start seeing Muslims, Hindus, Jews, etc decorating their houses with similar lights, I will jump aboard the "holiday light" train. Until then, they are Christmas lights and nobody should be offended.

Those are great tips! Thanks for the video! :)

how about getting your horizon's horizontal??? I've got a tip, take your advice from someone with a clue!

Why is this a video? Text Pictures is much more useful

I like the tip about using the Tungsten setting. I'm always forgetting the white balance on my camera. Thanks for the tips.
