Great shots and good info,thanks for posting.
You're welcome Daryl... it works for me. I suppose there's several ways to achieve the same thing but this works for me.
Let me show you something else. If you download these you'll be able to see the difference.
The top one is with my t1i at f/4.5, 1.6-Sec, ISO 200
The second one is f/10, 8-seconds, ISO 200
If you look closely you'll see a real difference in the lights and focus.
Have fun

I new to this site but I have had some experience in taking Christmas lights. I am not expert but personally I would set my cameral to bulb using an f stop of f8 or f11 and depending on the intensity of the lights try a 3-5 second time exposure. Be sure to use a tripod and a cable release. Attached is one example of christmas lights I took last year.

I also have a d90 also get a tripod try different fstops . Put on a cable release. Frame your shot . Click count - one thousand one, one thousand two one thousand three . Click . Look at your pic. To dark add more seconds to light cut some seconds. Your shots are not costing you A cent , so take a few hundered tell you got it down. Bring a flash light . Its about the same as fire works only more easy. You can play around with fstops . But i lean towards the smaller fstops you want depth of field.you dont have to do that . use manual focus also and go as wide as your lens will go if you want . But i try to keed it more in the center range . Experment its free

Now I am Happy. I have been waiting on Christmas light photos for awhile. All of the photos are fantastic shots. I love the lights but most of all just love Christmas for the hope of Peace and the celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ.
