Merry Christmas from the members of the Review This team. We thank you for your support and wish you and your family a happy and joyous Christmas season.
One of my favorite holiday activities is to take photos of all the beautiful decorations. Here are some of my favorites from this year.
Main Street St. Charles Photo Walk
One of my favorite things to do each holiday season is to go to Main Street in an area close to me. This town, St. Charles, goes all out in decorating for the holidays. Here are some photos I took last week.
Holiday Lights- Bokeh
I love using a bokeh effect in holiday photos. A bokeh effect gives the background a warm soft glow and turns lights into soft balls of color. You can achieve this by focusing on a nearby subject using a wide aperture and having Christmas lights in the background. The first photo in this post uses bokeh. Here are a few other photos using that technique.
Here are two using the bokeh effect that I created using AI. I enjoy playing with AI to create different effects. The biggest challenge here is describing what you want the photo to look like.
Merry Christmas
and a
Happy New Year
