Thoughts flow in and out of my mind.
Trying to stop them, freeze them in time.
Must put them somewhere safe
Where they’ll do no more harm.

The photo and music are such a soothing combination Paula, warm enough I hope to keep your thoughts safe while melting and letting go the more troublesome. Easy enough to say I know . . .!

I’ll never get tired of looking at this image, Paula… I have to learn how to take night photos, especially Christmas is coming 🙂

Use a tripod, ISO 100-200 and long shutter speed. (and a remote or self-release/timer if you want to make sure to avoid camera shake).

Thank you, Cardinal! long shutter speed like 1/2 sec. (?)

If you use a tripod, you can go much slower, but let’s wait what Cardinal has to say 😀

The shutter speed all depends on the light conditions. Sometimes 1/2 sec, other times 30 seconds. But if you’re shooting Christmas lights outside make sure not to over expose and “blow out” the light so that all the details are lost. It’s always better to under expose, because you can still get details from the RAW file in an under exposed photo. If it’s over exposed and the details are lost, then there’s nothing to recover.
Sometimes multiple exposures are very handy. You can then create an HDR photo, or you can work on the ones that are good and delete the others.
BTW: I am talking about shooting pictures outside, but basically it’s the same if you’re shooting inside – you’ll probably just have to adjust the ISO.LikeLike

Excellent advice, CG. I knew most of it, and I am sure Amy will appreciate it. Takk 🙂

I appreciate so much of your time and effort,CG! Thank you for sharing your expertise with a beginner 🙂 I meant 1/2 min. not 1/2 sec. 🙂 I also will begin to use RAW instead. HDR is kind of advanced stuff for me 🙂

Your Canon supports RAW files, but I am not sure about your other camera Amy. HDR from bracketting is fairly easy. I suggest Photomatix programme. You take one underexposed shot, one overexposed and one normally exposed. It seemed like a sci-fi to me, but it is really simple. Just be still if you are doing it hand-held.

That sounds encouraging, Paula! I don’t mind to try new stuff, but I’m restricted by the time I have 🙂 Will give a try of the Photomatix. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

And the best place to pour out those thoughts is the near or into the ocean. There’s this comforting feeling if I do it that way. Somehow, the constantly moving waters take those thoughts away as the winds purge them off me. I feel like this is the only place where they drift away when…
Oh, this kind of view never seizes to amaze me.

🙂 it is very nice to read you. my heart is grateful, Sony. That was a view from a ferry boat beginning of January 3 years ago – not a scene I would usually see that time of year 🙂 My thoughts are fresher – they appeared the same day I posted this. Hope you will listen to music 🙂 xx

I just did. How could I forget that…
It’s a befitting song, Paula–definitely. I feel like I am in a car driving somewhere unknown but very happy…I must tell I felt that what they call frisson again just like when you let me listen to “For You” by Tin Sparrow. I had a hard time finding where to download that song by the way. But it’s worth the search so to speak.
Paula, I am inclined to like songs with this kind of theme. Mushy but ironically uplifting.
Please tell me who the artist is.
