What are you up to this Festive Season, going anywhere nice, or just having family round. Maybe there will be some photo opportunities. It would be interesting to see a photo of where you went or did. I'm off to Paris for new Year, so hopefully I should get a few good pics........................if only from Euro Disney on NYD *LOL So lets see some pics in this thread*waving*crazyxmas
Hi Stephen -
There will be a couple more to follow as the season progresses. I recently visited Tring Brewery who allowed me to take a few pix for a photo challenge on a sister site. When I saw your theme here I immediately thought of this brew as it is only produced at this time of year. I'm sure it gets the festivities off to a good start.

I apologise because I have only used my video camera this holiday season - however I feel sure you won't mind me posting these from Boxing Day last year.

This was one of a couple of interesting shots taken on Boxing Day. I felt there was something almost Biblical about this shot.

A Christmas Day's morning stroll on St Mary's Beach and I can across a dead Badger with no obvious signs of injury.

Nice one Stephen....reminded me very much of 'A Christmas Carol'!
On my way back from Germany Jan and I stopped in Amsterdam for an over night.
I hope you all have had a merry Christmas and looking forward to a healthy New Year.
The Tulips were too good to miss hand held but i'm quite pleased with it - I've made a folder have a quick look

Here's a shot of my younger daughter, Lara (10), in front of my sister's Christmas tree, taken yesterday :)

I like that Neil. It's -2C degrees here but no white frost.:(
Its funny, isn't it? We're not that far apart yet conditions can vary so much.....frost never really left here that day.
Neil.
Taken on NY's day on the top of the Mendip hills. It was about 4.10 pm and the light was going rapidly but the frost was still heavy. All though on first appearance this could almost pass for a mono shot but it isn't and I've only adjusted the white balance.

We were in Paris over New Year, to be honest the whole trip was something of a disappointment, and the fact my wife was ill on New Years Eve, along with over half of the rest of the coach party did not help. It was also COLD and the light was poor, which meant that I have hardly a photo I'm happy with out of those taken. However here is one taken at the end of the Champs Elysees, which it has to be said was very pretty. The photo was taken just before the road was closed and with the camera sat perched on top of a bollard in the middle of the road. I used a delayed action exposure to try and avoid camera shake. Taken with my Canon G9 and a 2 sec exposure

I like that very much Jojo. So natural, with just a hint of colour. I think it would make a nice Christmas Card.
A Happy New Year to you.

Sorry to hear your trip was so disappointing Stephen and I hope your wife is better now. It could have been so different. These trips are always a bit of a gamble at this time of year.
We were married on New Year's Eve 1955 and spent a couple of nights in London. There was a gala dinner at the Russell Hotel, but I remember nothing of outside celebrations!*LOL
I like your photo, it is really Chrismassy. I am trying to work out the angled light trails. Is it where vehicles have turned the corner? The ones in the foreground, I mean?
jojo -
So alone and feeling blue.
Nice shot. :cool:

Oh yuck *crap, what a shame. Being ill is bad enough - on New Year's Eve it sucks *cry
Re your image, I like the sun star effect of the lights Stephen - adds a little more magic to the scene.

Thanks for your comments Stephen, Audrey and Barr1e - tried to set up my tripod but the ground was very uneven and it was too chuffin' cold to mess around!

A bit late joining the party, but here's my tuppence - afraid I've got two..
Didn't go far over Christmas as my daughter came home and promptly succumbed to the flu. I got a bit house crazy on Boxing day and went out (a bit late) to try and catch the sunset, but got dusk instead:

When I took her back to the station to start her journey back to France, I took the camera as she wanted some misty landscapes from home. I took a couple on the way back, but when I got home went out again and took this one:

Amazing what a difference a few days makes...
The second of the two is superb, the sheep on the horizon make it. I mightn't have been tempted to crop after the sheep to make the image tighter.
