[QUOTE="Lee, post: 38640, member: 8142"] I know if there is anywhere to get advice on this, it's here :-) If this is not the appropriate place to have posted, please feel free to move it. I was trying to get a shot of my Christmas tree with the lights on with the "twinkle" effect. I am using a 50mm F1.8 lens and have played with shutter speed and aperture but don't have quite the effect I am after. I managed this outside and pulled up the exif readings, then realized it is pretty pointless as the lighting and distance from the lights was completely different. To give you an idea of the lighting, I had all the lights off in the room aside from the (many) on the tree, so aside from the strung lights, there is almost no other light in the room. By the way, I don't need the photo for any particular reason, other than that I want to know how to do it, lol. I also have an 18-105 lens and I'm shooting with a D90 if that info is helpful. Thanks guys [/QUOTE]
