Sweet and seasonal!
That a star filter giving the flare on the lights?
Thanks! And no, just a lot of f/32
It's actually a 5-shot HDR increasing the exposure by slower shutter speeds. At the long end I think it was f/32, 13 seconds, ISO 6400, no clean-up work done but temperature. I just wanted to play around and see what I could get for stars but my bride got antsy and had to fix the garland in the middle. I kinda gave her a little snark when I scolded her for walking right in to my shot which made her stop right in the middle of the stairs :lolspin: "NO KEEP GOING!!!"
The oops made for a neat effect, methinks.
