Celebrating the one and only 12 (day), 12 (month) 12 (year)!
Over at "I Heart Faces" today was a tutorial on how to create a "Star Burst" effect with Christmas lights. Since I wanted to include a moving object in my version I had to make some adjustments.
First I set my camera up according to the instructions.
Settings: manual, 30 sec, ISO 100, F22, flash on Lens 50mm
This produces a great star burst effect. What happens though if your dog (or a person) decides to move during the 30 second exposure?! The result in a great star burst tree and a very blurry dog! Another little surprize, if your dog gets bored and decides to get up and leave before the 30 second exposure is up - well then this is what you get.

Settings: manual, 100 sec, ISO 100, F2.4, flash on Lens 50mm
To get my final photograph, I combined the star burst tree and the sharp focused photo of Becky together.
Did you know Kodee and Becky have their own blog? From December 1 - 24, I am creating my own"Dog Inspired Advent Calendar" and taking a photo a day of Kodee and Becky

I love how that turned out! I'm going to have to do that now, you know. :P I actually have a setting in my camera that will create that effect, though, without the long exposure. I did some fun ghost photos of Bunny on purpose, though, a while back. It's a cool effect!
Beautiful result! Great job merging the two pix and the end photo is just darling! <3
You certainly ended up with a perfect shot! Will it be your Christmas card? Thanks for passing on the tutorial--that may come in handy.
Love the sparkles! Merry Christmas!!

I love the ghost photo! I've tried to use that technique to make a spooky and cool photo of dogs or people but haven't perfected it yet (long exposure with the person/dog staying for only part of the exposure).
Your final photo was gorgeous!
Oh, I like it!! Very cool.
Kisses,
