Santa & the Window Pane

Yep, it's that time of year again. There's nothing much unusual about this photo except for where and how it was taken. A couple of years ago about this time we were in Savanna Georgia walking around the "Old Town" section (one of the oldest and most beautiful maintained anywhere in the country). So many photo opportunities a person could literally wear the camera clicker plumb out before getting to the end of the first block. Anyway in one particular display window were Christmas ornaments of all descriptions, but there really wasn't any way to get good pictures of them except by removing the lens hood and pressing the lens firmly against the glass to eliminate reflections. The lighting was dim and using a flash wasn't possible, so I set the function to full automatic and let the camera decide how long the shutter needed to be open to get a good exposure. Of course since I was pressing the camera firmly against the window glass and it wasn't difficult holding the camera steady for the long exposure. The result was a pretty darn good photo of a Santa Doll's face.

This is awesome. Simple but nostalgic. Great backstory as a bonus!
