You will need:
White and colorful Christmas lights (obviously)Some fishing lineMasking tapeA fast lens
So, here are the ideas:
Bonus tip – here’s one I’d like to add, in case you’re not feeling the Christmas spirit this year and the holiday euphoria is wearing you down. Honestly, that’s how I feel this holiday season. But even if you’re being grumpy like I am, you can still use Christmas lights to express your attitude towards the whole “Christmas spirit” thing. It won’t be a dreamy, festive photo, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun while shooting it. And who knows, you might even change your mind end up hanging the lights on your window after you finish the shoot. You never know. Have you shot any Christmas lights photos this year? Feel free to share them below. [Christmas Light Photography | Sweet Lou Photography; lead image credits: JillWellington on Pixabay]
