Focus on the Jingle Bells

Got most of the holiday decorations put away this weekend but I left a few things out for the month of January. Here are some more large jingle bells - I had a red and silver theme going on for Christmas this year! These are sitting just inside our entryway so there is natural light coming in the front door. Taken in shutter priority SS 1/50, f5.6, ISO 200, FL 53, no flash.

Thanks for all the nice comments on the vintage hat photos. They were taken on the dining room table with a white tablecloth used as a backdrop. We have a large window facing east, but it was overcast that day, wish it had been a little brighter. I'll have to get some more hats out of storage for another shoot. I enjoyed hearing what everyone collects.

Really beautiful. Those colors just pop. You should print out all of these and display them next year at christmas. or use them as thank you cards.

Love the color. And it looks like your natural light in that spot is to die for. It's overcast, cloudy and all-around yucky here. Hopefully we get some sun one of these days.
