How to Photograph Christmas Lights

[@SenorGancho]

Some interesting thoughts on composition. For me it would have been even better if you shared your setting for each photo, and why. Thank you

it is better with every pic you add the speed , aperture setting so it will be more use full for my type of picture lover

For me, it's very important to ensure the colour of the lights is captured. So, underexpose accordingly so the lights don't blow out, then bring up (add light to) the shadows/dark areas in post and, if necessary, apply noise reduction.

useful festive content.

Ahh Maybugs, I was wondering what that would look like all lit up at night. Good points and ideas, especially about telling the story using the subject.

Lots of great ideas, thanks! Personally I like the softness one can get with a dark diffusion/black mist type of filter, and it also helps to take down a bit what is probably a very high contrast in the scene.
