Like I mentioned before, I’m taking part in shutterboo’s Weekly Photo Challenge this year for as long as I can keep this going.

This week’s theme was Electricity. Took me a little bit to figure out what would be interesting to do (too bad I used up the high voltage sign at work on a class assignment) but I had some christmas lights from my little tree and thought it might be interesting to play around with taking a photo of them in the dark.

I’m only semi happy with how this turned out. It was my first time taking a photo pretty much in absolute darkness and I think I need a better lens to really get the look I was going for, but it is what it is. I am happy with how the focus ended up turning out though. I’m still getting a feel for depth of field and how I can play with it to get something cool.
