We tried a new thing but didn't work out with lights. You put strands of lights in the back ground going up and down. Then you use a group of them all together in the front where you take the pictures. However, we got the strands, which you could see. The object is to get just the lights and it looks like they are blurred, but have to use a camea with settings and set 1/4. Need natural light which we had. However, we don't play with the camera that much so didn't try it. It looks like snowflakes is the outcome.

It is my first Christams set this year and plan on doing several between now and Christmas. I have elf heels in green(I love, love, love), panty hose with red one leg and green the other. I picked up these cute Men's elft shorts last year at Walmart. They have little bells at each zig-zag. Then I have a shirt I purchased at Old Nary, that is white and has red/green writing saying I've Been Naughty. I asked my hubby what he though I had been naughty at and he said he" didn't know." I said "I have been screwing with the elves. " I also had a hat but either one I tried just didn't justify it. I have red and green garland beads. Got some fun poses.

Before you ask I can't show them, but it is how it is.

Any photog might try that 1/4 shutter speed and the lights.

I have also seen that you can make a heart/star maybe even a snow flake and use it as a lense over your camera and it is a simple thing to change how your pictures look.

I just saw new camera out Olympus (SP) and it had built in lenses....the wave of new things to come for camera's. What a great idea.
