As I am wont to do (you can search and find similiar posts at least a couple of years in the past) I like to take long exposures (5-10 seconds seems to work best) of Christmas lights while swinging or moving the camera. You need to use a DSLR or film for this to work – a “smart” camera assumes you don’t know what you’re doing and tries to “correct” the image to compensate for the motion. That isn’t Artificial Intelligence, that’s Natural Stupidity!
The lights got shut off and came down weeks ago, but I grabbed some photos beforehand:
One thing that really stands out in these photos is the color temperature and brightness differences between the incancescent lights and the LEDs. There are a lot of things I like about the LEDs, but those factors are not two of them.
