Goodbye Christmas Tree – Day 1 of 365

Goodbye Christmas Tree (1 of 365)


I decided that my daughter Ava, who always makes a good subject to photograph, should be featured in my first day’s picture. I also wanted to capture the Christmas tree in the background because I have been having fun taking pictures around it. The lights on the tree create nice bokeh (blurred points of light in the background) when I use my 50mm f1.4 lens with a shallow depth of field with the tree behind the primary subject. We didn’t end up taking the tree down today (it came down on the 3rd), but I wanted to get it while I could.
