Assignment: Christmas Decorations

[Saralonde]

This week's assignment is "Christmas Decorations". Surely there are many of these about this month, so I'm sure there you'll have plenty to photograph. Let's all get into the holiday spirit.

Again, the good people of Crumpler Australia are donating a lovely prize, a 5 Million Dollar camera bag!

As for Christmas decorations, I'm busy putting mine up. Top branches only; my cat thinks the tree is his personal playground!


As always, the rules...

1. Your image you submit should be taken between the 3rd of December and the 17th of December (until one of our moderators closes the the mini-contest).

2. Your post must include "Assignment: Christmas Decorations" (to show your permission to count it for the contest) and the date the picture was taken (to show that it is a valid entry).

3. EXIF data should be intact. It helps if you can include the main points (including camera, lens, date taken, ISO, shutter speed and aperture) in the text of your message.

4. Only one entry per member (if you can't restrain yourself until the end of the first week you can post two or three separate pictures but your entry should be in a separate post and the only marked with the text above).

5. Remember the cross-site image size limit (640px on the longest side).

6. If the image does not exist in post at the end of the contest, it is disqualified. If you modify anything on flickr and re-save the image then the link is broken and the message needs edited to link the picture again before it will be included in the contest.
For everyone, please do not repeat other people's photos by quoting them until the contest is over. If you want to comment on or discuss an entry you can use a link to it (or just delete the picture from the quoted text).
