Ceramic Christmas

This post is dedicated to my "sister", Dana. For several years, we've had a debate concerning whether ceramics suck or not. Honestly, I've never liked them. However, Dana loves them. So, this is for her; a Photo of the Day of a ceramic christmas tree with lighted birds. It belongs to my brother-in-law (the one I like), and I was simply walking around his house looking for things to photograph. of course, just taking a standard shot of it was not going to do. I wasn't thrilled with a close-up shot, it just wasn't working for me. However, holding the camera up above my head and shooting down (and some skillfull positioning) I captured a cool view of something that is normally... normal.

Shot with my "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree" Nikon D40x with an exposure of 1/30 at f/5.3, ISO 800. Nikon 18-55 VR lens.
