Aw. They just looked exactly like the lights we use in our Christmas tree and this 'being the season', I just assumed that's what they were.

Hope I didn't offend you, John.

No offense taken, but thanks for the concern. I used to celebrate it, and the lights probably were originally used when I still did, but after doing some research on the celebration and it's origins, and comparing it with the Bible accounts, I've decided not to. I won't go further into an explanation since that fits in more with a different section of the forums. Needless to say, I still love the way the lights make things look, but just don't limit their use to one time a year, they're up year round.

LX-5 at 24mm, ISO 400, 1/40th. This is the interior of the Schubert Theater, New Haven CT. Rather a literal interprestation of the theme...

Glad you decided to join in, kyteflyer. Nice clean night cityscape.

That took me a while to realise what I saw, woof. Literal interpretation maybe but an interesting shot for sure.

So many great photos for "Lights" Point and Shoot Contest. My favorites are Bart's #3 black and white, LOVE ivoire's #2 black&white with fx & the "Chromed steel balls with cyalume lights in the dark" Don't make me choose which photo I like the best because I can't! Immunogirl's #2 Video Player pic is a fave and jheu02 #1 shot of a small LED flashlight is an awesome capture and so creative. kyteflyer's "Queens Wharf by Night" is a winner! woof's interior of the Schubert Theater is great. It's an abstract... no no wait it's an interior. Love photos that make you look.

Sorry I am late starting... but I will submit my 3 photos in the next post,

This is only my 3rd entry > so > I am still new here but, if I can be honest, with everyone.... I hope I never win this (point and shoot) contest!. As a judge I would stink. You all would make judging a pain in the butt because I couldn't make up my mind! Keep em coming!

I noticed that my last month photo entries were taken down by photobucket. WOW > never got that many views, before! This month will be different as I will put them on my new blog. Please excuse my reposting(s) if it doesn't work. What do you all use to post your photos, here?

3 different p&s camera entries this month. The Canon PowerShot G2 is the oldest p&s but barely keeps a charge, the vivitar xatiE1 is on it's last legs with some wacky discolored pics and the Panasonic DMC-ZS6 is my newest p&s and a joy to shoot > thanks to ivoire.

I used to use imageshack.us (still do sometimes) but since taking a "pro" at flickr, am using that. The share is easypeasy and people can then easily look at the full size shot if they want to.

Thanks for the quick replies everyone. So far the new blog is handling it... but will check into the others.

chubasco · 12-15-2011, 12:19 AM

Well, I went out tonight to snap a few and this is my first one, have several
more to look at:

Canon a490

Bart · 12-15-2011, 04:26 AM

An original point of view, chubasco! Lovely composition.

chubasco · 12-15-2011, 08:06 AM

Bart, thanks, a little more noise than I wanted, and some were blurred, will
try to get out a few more times.

ivoire · 12-15-2011, 02:36 PM

Hey chubasco.... very cool perspective and i like the light reflections in the ornaments. I would not want to be judging this contest
