[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 686043, member: 27017"] OK, I know this is one of those things that are not easily accomplished unless probably some trickery is used. Taking a photo of a lighted Christmas Tree to get the nice glow of the lights along with the decorations requires using the light that the Christmas lights are putting out for the exposure. That is the easy part. Now let's put a human next to the tree. They are only a shadow with the available light from the tree so we add flash to the mix. The flash makes the human exposure good, but the tree lights are muted by the bright light. Some of you have a trick or two up your sleeve I'm sure to get both the lights exposed and the human exposed together in a pleasing form. Bounce flash, softbox, composite picture using layers, a snoot on the flash... TIA for any hints. [/QUOTE]
