Challenge: Tacky Holiday Decorations (Classic Editing)
Camera: Nikon Coolpix 5700
Location: Down the street from my house
Date: Dec 27, 2003
Aperture: F3.7
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/8
Galleries: Humorous, Snapshot
Date Uploaded: Dec 27, 2003

 This is the house down the street from mine. This is pretty much what it looks like on all four sides and both sides of the roof. Every year there holiday decoration collection grows and grows. I live in a small town of a little over three hundred people, throughout the town this coupld is commonly referred to as the "Griswald's" in reference to the family in all of the National Lampoon's Vacation movies.

All that was done to this shot was cropped, resized, adjust brightness and contrast, sharpened and added the border.

I guess the stuff on the roof is for airplanes to see.

Some people just take it a little too far... :-)

A good shot, like how it's a landscape shot. Would have liked to have seen more of the tree on the RHS.

Imagine their electric bill! I don't think I've evr seen lights on the roof like this. Nicely captured, but I think a little overexposed; the house should be more shaded to contrast with the lights.

Joyeux Noël!!! That's very tacky.... I would like to see it from a little bit closer, to see more details.
