If you find yourself setting up your tripod at 6:15 am on a Friday morning, you just might be a photography nerd.
In my drowsy state of nursing Kaya and browsing Pinterest on my phone, I saw a tutorial for getting some great bokeh from your Christmas lights. I just had to try it while it was still dark outside, so I set everything up and went for it. The settings that the tutorial advised didn’t give me the effect I wanted, so I ended up making some major adjustments. I used ISO 100, f/3.5, and a 1 second exposure. Ta-da! Beautiful lights.
